  I have been trying to purchase a blog domain name. The domain name is avaliable but everytime I click to purchase it. I get a message. “That hostname cannot be added to this blog.”
  Is there something going on with WP because I have not had this problem before.

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

  Does this help you?

  Note that only .com, .org, and .net domains can currently be registered through WordPress.com. If you wish to use another type of domain, you will need to register it at another registrar and then map the domain to your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/

  Please make sure that you’re adding the TLD – .org, .com etc to the end of the domain, and not just putting a word into the box :)
