Can WordPress release a cancelled Domain site?

    I registered my domain thewealthyhappy.com with WordPress using the Upgrade plan. Then I realized I wanted to use Bluehost as a platform and link it to WordPress. The problem is I can not use thewealthyhappy.com domain in Bluehost, siting it’s currently unavailable.

    Site: (email visible only to moderators and staff).
    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.

    Please let us know which of these options works best 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 after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.
