  Hello,
  I just wanted to be sure and so thought of posting it….

  Is it possible to delete some of my blogs which I created but ultimately didn’t used them much so that somebody else can get it?
  Or after deletion that domain ( I mean sub-domain of wordpress.com) can never be registered again?

  Also is their any method by which I can hand over sub-domain blogs to somebody if I have multiple blogs under one account?

  Thank you
  I am sorry if this is a repeat post or it sounds silly…..please chill :)

  No! Neither you nor anyone else can ever register a deleted blog.

  At this time, there is no way to free up a blog name. Once you’ve registered a name, it’s yours. If you’re trying to free it up so that someone else can use it, you might want to try moving a blog to another user instead.

  What I suggest is:
  You can publish a post on your blog/s saying “If you want this blog contact us here”(put a contact form). And hand over your blog/s to sonmeone who want.

  Hi hnsaifi,
  Thank you for your response. I assumed that…just forgot a bit.
  Btw, is it possible to hand over the blog (1 or 2 blog) under a username which has many other blogs?

  Thank you
