Accidentally canceled my Domain
-
Hi, I signed up through wordpress.com and purchased a domain, but quickly realized I needed to sign up through bluehost and use wordpress.org., so I canceled my site and domain. Is there anyway I can get my domain back so I can transfer it to my other site?
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.
Please let us know which of these options works best for you:
Wait: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.
Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.
Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.

If I may jump in here. How does it work for Free Accounts? I deleted my https://kellynaproducr.wordpress.com/ account and had to start again. Been waiting for the name to be released, and it has been a few years ago.

Hi
kellynaproducrv2– free WordPress.com addresses are not released. Once a site has been deleted, we can restore the free WordPress.com address within 30 days. After that, the address can’t be used anymore. You can learn more about it here: https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/If you have more questions, please go to https://wordpress.com/forums/?new=1 to create a new topic so that we don’t keep sending unwanted notifications to the original poster of this thread.
Thanks!
