  I was just exploring and didn’t mean to purchase the domain I did for this site. How can I cancel this so that the domain is available elsewhere?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello there,

  Happy to help you with this.

  Generally speaking, there’s no set time a domain would become available again, even with a different provider, so we wouldn’t recommend deleting the domain in any case.

  This is because there’s always chance it can be purchased by someone else. This guide here explains more on the process of a domain expiration: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  It is possible to use the domain with another provider using custom DNS: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/

  What are you hoping to do with the site exactly? Perhaps I can offer some advice. :)
