  What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you are referring to please?

  This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting. Note that about 30% of those who post here daily are posting to wrong support forum and the answers to wordpress.COM and WordPress.ORG support questions are not the same.

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. We cannot provide support for sites that are not on our servers. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. That support is found at http://jetpack.com/support/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  Well, look also here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cant-recreate-my-blog-on-the-same-domain?replies=2#post-2810629

  The point is — 4 monts ago I’ve been trying to create a blog (here on wordpress.COM) and your were providing domains like name.tech.blog. So I created blog on myusername.tech.blog, then I removed it as it was on different language than I want. And now I don’t see the .tech.blog option when choosing domain name, now it’s wordpress.com only.

  Hi there, Subdomains (like mysitedottechdotblog or mysitedotdesigndotblog) on the dotblog TLD were available for a limited time period and were then discontinued.

  If you wish to purchase a dotblog TLD, you can do so on any of the current upgrade plans.
