  I refunded my WordPress premium site and the domain as well

  Will the domain get freed up and how long would that take?

  Hi there,

  Cancelled domains are not released immediately, and it can take anything from a few days to over a year before a cancelled domain becomes available again, if at all. You should never cancel a domain that you still want to use, as there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to use it again somewhere else in future. Only cancel a domain if you’re completely sure you no longer want it at all.

  In this case your domain should be released early next week, at which point you should be able to register it somewhere else. We have no way of manually releasing the domain sooner – at this point we can only restore it to your account, but you’ll have to pay for it again before we can do that.

  If you’d like to restore the domain, please let us know.
