  After deleting a domain, I cannot create a domain with the same name.
  The name of the deleted domain is: https://mycontrolnet.wordpress.com/
  Thanking you in advance.

  mycontrolnet.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  It’s not a great idea to delete an address if you actually still want to use it. There are warnings. If you deleted the site less than 30 days ago staff may be able to recover it. Add the word modlook to the tag box on the right to get staff assistance.

  Hi there – I’ve restored the site to your account since you made the request within the 30-day window: https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/#reverse-a-site-deletion

  Thank you for your answer. I didn’t mean to restore the site, but to use the address: mycontrolnet.wordpress.com (deleted site) to my new site.

  The only way to use that address is for us to restore the deleted site.

  It is not possible to change a site’s address to another address that has already been used on another site.

  Deleting the site with the address you want does not release the address so you can use it for another site, but instead completely removes the address so it can never be used on WordPress.com again.
