  I cancelled my wordpress account and domain within 24 hours of developing it. wordpress is not what I was looking for.
  I am trying to register my domain name now and it says it is not available.

  Hi there. After cancelling a domain it can take some time before it is available again to register elsewhere, and it may not become available again at all. This is not in WordPress.com’s control, but is simply how the domain name system works.

  After cancellation, there is no guarantee the domain will become available to register somewhere else and you may not be able to get it back.
