Accidentally deleted wordpress domain
-
Hello,
I accidentally deleted my wordpress domain while trying to relocate to a different hosting service. Is there any way to recover the same domain name?

Hi,
The Reverse a Site Deletion section of the Delete Site support page says:
It is possible to reverse a site deletion for the first 30 days after a site is closed. If you realize you closed your site in error, please contact us immediately. We will be able to assist you in restoring your site during this 30 day window. Once the 30 days have passed, all of your site data is purged and cannot be restored, and the site address is deleted and cannot be reused.
If it’s been under 30 days, then use the “contact us” link above, or wait for staff to respond here.

Thanks for the reply! The “contact us” link is actually a page to post on this forum so hopefully they will be able to help me out!

As mentioned during the domain cancellation, we cannot guarantee when or even if you’ll be able to re-register the domain. That is because the majority of the cancellation process is outside of our control, and this is true for all domain registrars.
The good news is that your domain was still under the grace period, and since you didn’t receive a refund for that portion, I have recovered https://uncutropes.com/ :)
You’ll now be able to direct it anywhere simply by changing its name servers: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/change-name-servers/
And, after 60 days (another policy outside of domain registrar control), you’ll be able to transfer it elsewhere: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/
