  I deleted domain to move to a new domain registrar. The domain is not listed in my purchases. How soon will I be able to re-purchase the domain from another domain registrar?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Deleting a domain to move it to another registrar is the baddest way to go. “Getting a domain back after it has been canceled can be difficult, more expensive, and sometimes impossible. Once you cancel your domain, there is usually a small window of time to restore it.”

  You must restore your deleted domain as quick as possible – https://wordpress.com/support/domains/cancel-refund-a-domain/#restore-a-deleted-domain

  Thank you for your reply. Since I no longer have a paid account, how can I contact support to help?

  Hi!

  Deleting a domain is indeed not the best way to move it to another registrar, regardless of the initial registrar.

  When checking the site mach3rc.wordpress.com, I see the domain that was registered there is now with another registrar: FastDomain Inc.

  Meaning that it’s no longer with WordPress.com and unless you were the person who purchased it at FastDomain, it can’t be restored.

  If you are referring to another domain name, please feel free to share more details here.
