  Hello,

  I am considering creating a website using wordpress. I made many tests yesterday with a specific site name (something) and, after trying a few things, I wanted to start from a new site with the same name. In order to do that, I deleted this site and now, when I want to re-create my site, the site name i wanted remains unavailable. How much time do I need to wait for the site name to be available again ?

  Thanks

  Antoine

  Hi Antoine –

  Did you actually go through all the steps of deleting the WordPress site? Once you’ve deleted it, unfortunately it can’t be brought back.

  Delete a Website

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  If you just emptied it, or made it private, you can still use it, but when it is deleted, it is gone.
