  I’ve cancelled my domain notabridezilla.com — how long will it take for it to be available again?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That domain is parked. What exactly do you want to do with the domain?

  I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi there,

  Domain canceled after the 48 hour cancellation period will be parked until the end of the registered period. We do this as once a domain is canceled we can not guarantee you’ll be able to use it again.

  If you’d like to use the domain with another host I would recommend we restore it to your WordPress.com account allowing you to use it elsewhere by pointing the name servers or transferring it away.

  Alternatively, we can completely cancel the domain but it may be lost forever if bought by someone else before you can restore it.
