  How can I recover a blog adress that I’ve deleted?

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately it is not possible. That’s why several warnings are given in order to accomplish deletion.

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

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

  I hope this will help!

  It’s possible to use the same name by another wordpress account?

  ok thanks. But how can I register the domain if I can’t start from the name that I want? If I want to register the domain “exemple.com” but I can’t start from a site “exemple.wordpress.com”, how can I arrive to have the name that I want?

  when you register and domain map example.com it does not need to be mapped to example.wordpress.com, you can map the custom domain name to any blog here (mystupidblog.wordpress.com for instance) and visitors will see example.com in their address bar

  Hi coral,

  When you create your own site, you are actually able to see if the domain is available in a few seconds.
  If it is, there is going to be a green tick next to your choice.
  If it’s not, this message is going to appear: “Sorry, that site already exists!”. It means someone already owns it!

  Ok so If I have a blog named “blabla.wordpress.com” from it I can register the domain “valeria.com” and visitors will see just “valeria.com”.So there isn’t any connection between the source blog name and the name of the new domain, is it?

  Exactly!

  Simply make sure “valeria.com” is your primary domain.

  You can access it through the “My Domains” section of your dashboard.

  I I have not any primary domain yet. If I have three blogs on my account: if I choose “valeria.com” all my blogs will be redirected to “valeria.com”? or just the blog from which I’ve decided to activate the domain “valeria.com”?

  The opportunity to select “valeria.com” as your primary domain will be possible on only one site.
