reserved domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    I created a wordpress account and received the free domain globalex2018.home.blog. I deleted that site and that account and created a NEW account under a new email with the domain globalex18.wordpress.com. when i try to change it to globalex2018.wordpress.com, it says that the domain is reserved- but that account was deleted! is there a way to recover this domain name and use it for my current account, within the limits of a free wordpress domain?

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

    Hi doriellel

    Can you please let us know when you have closed your account globalex2018.wordpress.com ?

    If you have deleted your account in last 2 to 3 weeks then WordPress staff can help you out in restoring that URL.

    For more information on this please refer to the link below:

    Close Your Account

    Please let us know as soon as possible so that staff can help you out in restoring.

    I am also tagging this thread as ‘modlook’ for staff attention.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hi there,

    when i try to change it to globalex2018.wordpress.com, it says that the domain is reserved

    Yes, that is correct. When you delete a site the address is removed from use permanently, and is not made available for re-use by other accounts again.

    But you also contacted us via the email address for the globalex2018 account, and both the account and site were restored two days ago. We already let you know about this on Friday. Please check your spam folder if you did not receive that email.

    If you want this account to own the site, please log in as globalex2018 and follow these instructions to transfer ownership of the site to your doriellel account.
