  Hi!
  Please, i need help with the following subject. I am trying to register a WordPress blog with this specific name:

  https://ugoshi.wordpress.com

  But everytime that i tried to register this specific name, the following message appears “Sorry this site is reserved”; i’ve tried to search the site by his address but he’s not registered/used by any wordpress user in a long time:(https://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=ugoshi)
  I am aware of the possibility to buy the domain “.com”, but, unfortunately, this is not an option right now. Maybe in the future.
  I am trying to register this name for a long time. So, please, i’m wondering if there’s some procedures to register this name, or anything that i could do to free this domain? It’s a very important name for a very special project. I would greatly appreciate any help to solve this problem.
  Thank you very much !

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

  When we register a username account the matching blog URL is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  There is no expiration date on blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog via a contact form or commenting, then providing the are agreeable there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry but there is currently a username under: ugoshi which is why the site name is reserved for this user.

  I’m sorry, but at this time it would be best to choose a different name.

  Thank you.
