Hi there! I am so sorry to hear about the confusion—accidentally deleting a domain can be a very stressful situation. Whether or not you can restore treaguannacobb.com depends entirely on how much time has passed since you hit the delete button. When a domain is deleted on WordPress.com, it enters a short ‘grace period’ where it can often be recovered, but this window is usually only 48 to 72 hours.If you deleted it very recently, you should check your Upgrades > Domains section in your dashboard; sometimes a ‘Restore’ or ‘Undo’ option will appear there. If that option is missing, you must act quickly and contact WordPress.com Support directly. Since this involves a domain registration and potential recovery fees from the domain registry, only a staff member can reach out to the registrar to try and ‘pull’ the domain back before it is released to the open market. Please keep in mind that once a domain is fully released, it can be snapped up by ‘domain brokers’ and may become much more expensive or impossible to get back.I have tagged this thread with ‘modlook’ so that a staff member can check the status of your specific domain immediately. Please keep an eye on your email for a message from the support team, as they will likely need your authorization to proceed with a restoration.
