  Hi,

  Several months ago, i created a blog with worpress.com, and a couple months ago i cancelled the account.

  Now i want to create again the blog with the same name, but it says that the domain is not available.

  How can i get the name of the blog again ?

  Thanks !!

  Site deletion at WordPress.COM is a permanent and irreversible act. That is why there are multiple warnings to that effect that one has to ignore in order to delete any wordpress.COM blog. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
