  Hi,
  Recently, I have changed my site domain name into ‘sayyes2analog.wordpress.com’.
  Can I regain and use my ‘erkanumut.wordpress.com’ domain name for another content.
  Sincere thanks!
  All the Best,
  Erkan

  I think I can reply myself here:

  Once you change the “example” part of example.wordpress.com, the old address will stop working. Visitors will not be redirected to your new site address. The old address will not be available for use again.

  I understand the reason behind getting it back for a different content despite I was the owner of that previous domain. Certainly will cause confusing.
  But it would be perfect, if that name could be available for the previous owner again after some time limit.
  Not a bad idea, right?

  Hi there,

  Any deleted site can be restored if requested by the original owner within 30 days. I have restored that site to your account.
