  Hi!

  I registered in July 2013 the domain addthought.com for my blogg wordpress.addthought.com. Soon after I got a confirmation e-mail*, but the site addthought.com still doesn’t contain my blog. Could you help me?

  Kind regards,
  Anders Brotherus

  *”Hi there! We at WordPress.com just wanted to let you know that we have set your new domain, addtought.com, as the primary domain for your site, addthought.wordpress.com.”

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

  I am seeing http://addtought.com/ bring up your WordPress.com site as it should.

  If you are still having trouble, can you please send me a screenshot of what you are seeing?

  Thanks rootjosh – just realised I reserved the domain addtought.com instead of addthought.com, the name of my blog :/

  Ah, that is unfortunate.

  Sadly, it appears that addthought.com has already been registered at enom.com. Were you the one who registered it by any chance?

  Yeah :/

  I’m not sure – I’ve only registered one domain as far as I know.

  Anyway, how do I check if it still could be me who’s registered addthought.com — ?

  Hi Anders –

  I’m afraid addthought.com was actually registered by someone else. You can check the information about this domain here:
  http://who.is/whois/addthought.com

  I checked some similar options for you, and found that some that are still available for registration, such as:

  – addthought.net
  – addthought.me
  – addthought.org
  – addthought.co

  If any of these domains could work for you, you can register it with these steps:

  If you have any questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

  Hi Fabiana,

  Thanks for your tips. I registered addthought.co and will look into WordPress.org, too, to learn more in-depth :)
