  Hello there

  I really want to use the url pakistanillustrated.wordpress.com but it seems that someone else has already registered that url, However I cant find the blog with that name so I’am guessing the blog was either deleted or renamed. Now thats all well and good but its a huge headache for me since i really wanted to use that perticular url.

  the ideal outcome would be if you could let me know if there is a way for me to get http://www.pakistanillustrated.wordpress.com as my primary url.

  Thank you for your time

  I’m sorry, but we do not reuse or reassign deleted blog names on WordPress.com. You will need to select a different blog name. For full details, please see:

  There is one other option available to you, though. You can purchase a domain name and map that back to your WordPress.com blog. In that case, nobody would ever see the underlying WordPress.com URL. They would just see your purchased domain. For full details, please see:
