  I would like to delete my domain name and site from WordPress.com as it’s no longer valid and has gone dormant. How would I go about this action?

  Hi 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)

  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.
