  Hello,
  I tried to free up my site name puneethindurlal.wordpress.com but now it seems to be unavailable for use. Help please.

  Hello!

  When you say “free up” your site name… did you delete your site name?

  Thanks,
  Tish

  Yupp. I did. One of the options on the dropdown is “Free up your site name …..”

  At this time, there is no way to free up a site name. Once you’ve registered a name, it’s yours. If you wanted to try and free up a site name so that someone else can use it, you should move a site to another user instead.

  This means that you cannot recover or register any deleted blog URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them.
