  Hi,

  Can I recover a blog I deleted myself about 3-4 months ago? I know that you cannot recover a blog from someone else, but maybe I can recover my own blog.
  I don’t need to recover the content, just the domain name.

  Thanks.
  S

  Did you buy a domain name or are you referring to the WordPress.com address linked to your username?

  If you mean the WordPress.com address, once you delete it, it’s gone. There are several steps in deleting a site and at each step it mentions that you won’t be able to use that address again, ever. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  yep, that’s what I did :-( and I know it was mentioned, but want to find out if there’s really no possibility to re-use it. If not, I’ll make a new one.
  Thanks for your feedback.

  There is really no possibility. That’s why there are at least three warnings that this is permanent.
