  Hi, i was hired as an intern by a company to design their website for them. My boss has a domain name and website name, when I go to create a wordpress website it says the website is already reserved and won’t let me create it for him. What do i do?

  What are the names?

  The Law
  This could be a legal issue based on the trademark and it’s reach. If your boss’ company has legal proof of ownership etc. then you can force a change of ownership, but other than that…

  WP.com vs WP.org
  This can be a difficult issue on wordpress.com but you may want to consider using a self hosted environment… it’s easier than you think and typically it can be better for business needs.

  Here is a great little article called: WordPress.org vs WordPress.com: A Definitive Guide For 2014 that should help.
