  I want to cancel my domain but have already deleted my site. I want to move to weebly but it says the domain (bowskianco.com) I chose is taken. I’ve already deleted my site so I can’t access anything to it. How do I release the domain name?

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

  I tagged this thread for Staff to remove the domain mapping for you. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Also know there is a backlog so your patience is required while waiting.

  Hi there!

  When a domain is cancelled, it isn’t immediately released for registration elsewhere. Instead, it’s sent back to our registrar and held by them. I’ve gone ahead to contact our registrar directly to ask that they restore bowskiandco.com to our account. I’ll let you know when I hear back from them and help you out with a guide on moving the domain to Weebly from there.

  Thanks for your patience on this! I’ve now heard back from our registrar, and they’ve restored bowskiandco.com to your account.

  To use that domain with Weebly, you can use the following guide from them:

  Your domain can be edited directly from the My Domains page here:

  Hope this helps out! Please do let me know if you have any extra questions.
