  Hi, I would like to register a blog address but it says ‘Sorry this site is reserved’. Can anyone help with this?

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

  Hi! Typically, that message would indicate that the domain you are trying to use is either registered to another user, or at another registrar. Can you provide the domain you are trying to register so we can take a look?

  I would like to register missfelton.wordpress.com.

  I’ve tried looking up the reserved site at the above address but nothing comes up.

  Hey michkirszanelee!
   
  Usually that means that someone already signed up for an account with that name on WordPress.com. While they may not have a site setup, it still reserves a URL with their account name. So while you may not find a site up and running yet, it’s still reserved just in case the user ever wants to make one.
