  Hi, I accidentally deleted my paid domain name, I wanted to transfer it to a different hosting site but am a novice and completed deleted it.

  Is there anyway of getting it back? It wasn’t due to expire until September 2019, I had paid for 12 months.

  The domain name was: ivf-findingyou.com

  Appreciate any advice/help.

  Thanks
  juanita

  Hi Juanita,

  Once a .wordpress.com domain is deleted it may not be recovered or used again by you or anyone else. There are warnings in place to advise you of this as you work through the domain deletion process. As explained here https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/#reverse-a-site-deletion the website deletion can be reversed in the first 30 days. A staff member may be able to retrieve your domain. I have tagged this thread ‘modlook’ to ask them for help.

  The above link applies to subdomains with the wordpress.com suffix. It seems that the OP has deleted a custom domain. Also I don’t see a “modlook” tag in the tag box on the right so I have added one to ask if a member of staff could assist with this.

  raduconstantin1 – Please read carefully. The OP mentioned the custom domain in question very clearly in their post. They weren’t inquiring about a deleted, free site.

  ivffindingyou –

  I’ve restored the domain to the account. You should be all set. Things are working on my side. Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can assist with.
