  Hello, we purchased the annual $99 upgrade package which includes a registered domain name. In trying to select our domain name, the only choices are .com or .me. How can we obtain .org? WordPress used to offer this when the individual pricing components were available… do you no longer offer this option? (I’m also sad that it’s no longer possible to make a question private in this forum…) :-(

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes that page shows that it is. But when you go into Store > My Domains, the option is no longer available: https://northcitybusiness.wordpress.com/org-domain/

  and put northcitybusiness.org

  Galois, you’re awesome. Thanks so much! Wish WordPress would fix their My Domains page… when I typed in the .org extension there, it wanted to add a fee.
