  Dear support member: I want to create a new blog with the address: dipinti.wordpress.com but apparently the name is taken. I tried to search the blog and, as you can see, it is no longer available. Why I can’t use the address? Thanks! Hector C. Aspano

  WordPress does not recycle blog names.

  Try a variation of the name. Add a number before or after, change a letter to a number, or something like that.

  Or buy a domain mapping upgrade:

  Dear 1tess: Thanks for your fast reply! I’m a little bit sad because I wanted to create my professional blog with WordPress so I can’t use numbers or funny names. I’m afraid that I will to find another blog company. Thanks for your time! Hector C. Aspano

  Why do that when your company can purchase a domain name?

  Dear timethief: I’m not a company but your solution is very welcome. I want to start a project with minimum cost but I will reconsider it. Thanks so much!
