  Hi,
  I want to create a new site to match the domain I want to purchase in the future, but when I look at the .wordpress.com page, it spits up ‘wordpress.com doesn’t exist’ but also states ‘site is reserved’ – What does this mean?

  Thanks for any replies.

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

  Hi there!

  If someone used this address in the past, even if they deleted it, you will not be able to reuse it but let us know what’s the actual address you’re trying to register. We’ll have a look.

  I’ve seen closed sites before, this one looks a bit different.

  Thanks for the swift reply.

  Hi there,

  That address is reserved by another user that’s why you cannot register it.
