  Greetings dear WordPress Team,
  I mistakenly created the site (isprsscblog.wordpress.com) using my old wordpress account. I later deleted it and tried using the same name under a different account but it is no longer available.

  I will appreciate help with recovering the domain name (isprsscblog.wordpress.com) so that I can transfer it to my new account.

  Thank you

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

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

  Thanks @amiteshg93, and sorry for the repeated post. I had decided to re-post it here using the account (mfmthedrive) from which I created the deleted site (isprsscblog.wordpress.com).

  Hi @mfmthedrive please do note that two days ago you also changed the website URL from isprsscblog.wordpress.com to testing123456789012.wordpress.com – while we can restore the deleted website for you, we cannot restore the original URL. There’s more information regarding site address changes here:

  Would you still wish to have testing123456789012.wordpress.com restored?

  Thanks for responding @staff-95percentghost . It’s the url isprsscblog.wordpress.com that I’m interested in not the other one. Is this still possible by any means?

  Alternatively, if testing123456789012.wordpress.com is restored, can I revert it to isprsscblog.wordpress.com. The reason i changed the name from isprsscblog.wordpress.com to testing123456789012.wordpress.com was I thought this would free the initial domain name after deletion, for me to use on a different wordpress account.

  We note that when you change the site URL that this process permanently removes it, and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address.

  

  Again, while we can restore testing123456789012.wordpress.com, the name isprsscblog.wordpress.com is no longer available and you would need to choose a different name for your blog.

  I hope that clarifies things.
