Accidently refunded domain name
-
I recently signed up for a plan and registered a domain name to go with it (snoball.org). I realized the plan was not what I needed, but I did want to keep the domain. When I refunded the plan I accidentally refunded the domain as well. I realized this when I got an email confirming my cancellation of the domain name. Is it possible to reverse this and keep the domain? Or just withhold the domain so that it’s available again? Thanks!

Hi there,
Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?
If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.
If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again by early next week, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait we can still restore it manually as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.
Let me know what you’d prefer.

Thanks for your reply! Is there an expiration to getting the domain back manually? I want to use a wordpress hosting plan through BlueHost. Given my lack of expertise, I think avoiding having to transfer the domain would be best. I’m okay with waiting but will I still be able to restore it through yall if I wait until a few days and it’s still not available? If redirecting it to my new bluehost plan is super super easy, then I’ll do that option! Thanks!!

Hi there,
If you’re willing to way a few days, then it’s best to register through Bluehost.
