  Hi, I bought and then canceled my wordpress domain a couple days ago, but I meant to only refund the hosting not the domain name itself. Now I cannot access it or buy it again. The domain is: codycassidybooks.com Is there anyway to recover this? Thanks!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

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

  Hi there!

  Canceling a domain does not make it immediately available to repurchase elsewhere. Here are the available options 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, buy an annual plan, skip the domain option, and update us here.

  Let us know which way you’d like to proceed. Thanks.
