  Hi there!

  It looks like the domain you had on your WordPress.com site expired a long time ago. Domains go through a long expiration process after which they are released into the market. Anyone can register the domain at that time. You can learn more about the domain expiration process here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/

  The domain you owned is no longer registered with us. I looked up and found that the domain is now registered elsewhere. If you didn’t register the domain elsewhere, that means someone else owns it. You can find out the domain registration details here: https://www.whois.com/whois/courtneylmoore.com

  As a result, you won’t be able to register the domain anymore (unless the person who owns it agrees to sell the domain to you). You can, however, register a different domain on the same site if you’re okay with it.

  * Here’s how to register a new domain: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/register-domain/
  * You’ll also need a paid plan to set the custom domain as primary. Check out our plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/plans

  If you upgrade to a yearly plan, you’ll get a free domain registration for the first year. So if you decide to go for a yearly plan, please upgrade first and then register the domain to get your free domain.

  Let us know if you have more questions about any of this.

  Regards
