  i want to change my site address to something else but it says the domain is reserved… however, when i visit the site, it says the owners deleted it. is there any way to gain access to that domain?

  Hi there,

  What is the domain URL?

  Even if a WordPress.com site has not been updated in a long time, we do not reassign its address. Please refer to this support page for more information:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  The addresses for some sites deleted two or more years ago might be available again (though there are a variety technical limitations). If you see a deleted site with an address you want, you can try registering it as a new site here:

  http://wordpress.com/start

  If the address is available, it will be yours instantly.

  Keep in mind, we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works, see this guide:

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
