I’m trying to access yourmoneydna.com on WP and its says its not available. When I type in http://www.yourmoneydna.com in the browser bar, a pages comes up asking if I want to register it. Can someone from WP explain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The domain yourmoneydna.com is already registered and owned by someone else. You can see the publicly available information about the domain and its owner here:
http://who.is/whois/yourmoneydna.com
When I visited the domain itself, I saw this message:
“Domain name is registered and parked with Crazy Domains.”
That means someone already registered the domain but just isn’t using it yet. You’ll need to pick a different domain to register for your site — you could try something similar like yourmoneydna.net if you’d like.
Just let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

Thank you so much. Extremely helpful. I have another question for you. I now have 2 free domain names under my name and I would like to cancel one of them. How can I do this?

Delete the blog on the Tools page of the dashboard, assuming you’re cool with neither you nor anyone else ever being able to use that URL again.

As raincoaster mentioned, there is a “Delete Site” option under Tools in the dashboard that permanently deletes the site and URL so it can’t be used again. We have more information about that here: Delete Site
