Deleted my domain but now realized I need it back…
-
I had purchased a plan where I also bought a domain name. I then deleted my plan (and got a refund, but NOT a refund for the domain) with the intention to switch website platforms and also deleted the domain name with the intention to use it on the other platform. Now I’ve realized it wont be available for use until next year since I purchased it and I need that domain name, how do I get it back?

Hi edithandjune,
with the intention to switch website platforms and also deleted the domain name with the intention to use it on the other platform.
I can restore edithandjune.com for you. The domain costs haven’t been refunded yet so there won’t be anything to pay. Once the domain has been restored, it can be transferred 60 days after the registration date:

This 60 day lock is required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and cannot be waived.
In the meantime, the domain can be pointed towards your new site by changing the name servers:

If you would like me to go ahead and restore the domain, just reply and confirm.
Thanks!

I’ve restored the domain to your site for you:
https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/
You should be able to transfer it around 8th October 2017.
Come back to me if you have any questions about the next steps.
