  Hi,

  I cancelled my premium subscription and made the mistake of cancelling my domain name at the same time (wizardingwalrus.com).

  Is it possible for me to buy back this domain name? I understand that it is still registered by wordpress.

  Thanks

  Errol

  Tagged for staff help as they will be able to look into your domain. In addition, please give this a read on what happened when a domain is cancelled: https://en.support.wordpress.com/cancel-domain/

  I can try and reverse the cancellation. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.

  If successful, you will need to re-purchase the yearly domain registration. Then you will be able to use the domain here on WordPress.com or point your domain to a new webhost using these instructions:
