Restarting a deleted site with another account

    I deleted a site I used to have on WordPress. I am making a site as a part of my thesis and I have been working on the site on my personal account, making a draft and checking how it should be. Now that my thesis has been approved I need to make that site using my work account but after it has been deleted from this user it keeps saying the site is not available. What can I do to that? The site I’d like to use is kulissientakana.wordpress.com. Most probably I’d get a domain and make it kulissientakana.fi, but I can’t do even that as long as it says that kulissientakana.wordpress.com isn’t available.

    https://kulissientakana.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.

    Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done and what you ask to do is not possible. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

    Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

    That’s not true. Register any .wordpress.com URL and then you can domain map from it to a domain URL. The two do not have to match at all.

    All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.

    Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

    See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com) see here http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/

    After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
