    Hi there,

    That is expected. If you change a website address, the old address is deleted and permanently removed from our system, so no one, not even the account that originally owned it, can use it ever again.

    This is explained in our support page at https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-site-address/ and in the warnings that appeared on-screen during the address change process.

    If it was less than 30 days ago we can still restore the deleted address, but we can only do that if requested by the same account that used to own it. So please log in and comment here as the mslittlewonders account.

    Once we restore the address to that account, you can then transfer ownership of that site to this account.
