  I accidentally cancelled my domain: ramentality.com and would like to get it back — is this possible? Is there a grace period in which domains can be restored after they’re cancelled?

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

  Hi there,

  I’ve emailed our registrar to try and get back the domain. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

  @ramentality

  Your domain has been restored, but I see it expires in a few days so please make sure you renew it on the Purchases page before that happens:

  Please let me know if you need any more help with this.

  The domain, jamesqdang.com, is not registered with us and has never been connected to a WordPress.com site. The domain is connected to your account via the Jetpack plugin, but neither the domain nor your site is with us.

  According to the Whois data you bought that domain from GoDaddy, and your site is hosted with iPage.

  You will need to contact GoDaddy for help with this, though it does not look as if that domain is cancelled based on the information at that link.
