Deleted Domain and now it is parked!! HELP
-
I wanted to switch to wordpress.org because I did not realize I would not be able to download plug ins freely on wordpress.com since I had my domain elentity.com for less than 48 hours I requested a refund. Then I deleted my domain thinking I could get it again for wordpress.org. But no, it is parked by automatic….. how can I get my domain “elentity.com” back!!! So desperate!!! Please help me.

When you cancel a domain on WordPress.com, there is no guarantee that it will be available for registration again at other domain registrars.
You could have retained the domain with WordPress.com and pointed your domain’s nameservers to a different site (after you set up your self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site)
Since we are past that stage, I am afraid you can get access back to this domain. All information on domain cancelation and how it affects one are mentioned here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/cancel-domain/

I have added a tag “modlook” to this topic, Elda. Let’s see what the WordPress.com Happiness Engineers have to say about this.

Hi there,
I can still restore the domain to your account, but I’ll need you to create a new free site in your account before I can do that, as the domain needs to be connected to a WordPress.com site for you to be able to access its settings.
However, if you want to use the domain somewhere else, because you cancelled on the same day you bought it the domain will be released in five days, at which point you should be able to register it at the provider of your choosing. There is a slight risk someone else can register it at that time, but given that this is a brand new domain that’s very unlikely.
If you want to still restore the domain, please create a new free site at the following link and let me know once you’ve done that:

Who told you you won’t be able to use plugins here? That used to be true, but we’ve had support for installing plugins and custom themes on the WordPress.com Business Plan since May of this year.

Hi,
I’m having the exact same issue with mylothlorien.com I know it’s my fault, but could you help me restore it and chalk it up to a rookie mistake?

@lothlorienjoel, can you please create your own thread at the link below. If you post into someone else’s thread the thread is not linked to your account details, which makes it harder for us to help.

Add the tag “modlook” to your thread, and we’ll reply to you there.

Please read my last reply just above yours. We can’t help you with this if you post into another user’s thread. Please start your own.
