  I just want to cancel the website. The client I work with does not have another website ready to transfer her domain to, but has plans of one through her new company. I need to cancel it all together.

  Hey there,

  To delete your site with a custom domain upgrade, you’ll need to do one of the following:

  – move the domain upgrade to another WordPress.com site

  – transfer the domain registration to another domain registrar

  – fully cancel the domain (you will lose the ownership of the domain and there is no guarantee you can register it again. The cancellation process can also take up to several weeks). If you would like to go with this option, please let me know and I can take care of it for you.

  After the custom domain is unlinked from the site, you can use the site deletion tool to permanently remove the site. Here’s a bit more information about that:

  Please make sure to read the warnings and advice before deleting a site. We can’t revert the deletion of a site for any reason.

  Please let us know how you would like to proceed and I can give you more information.
