Deleting domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi

    Guys I am in a bit of trouble. I accidentally deleted a domain. I bought the standard £4 domain for a website I am trying to create for someone, however, I wanted it to be business.

    Thus I deleted and refunded my domain with the plan to redo the whole website and domain creation and buy the business plan instead.

    However, when I tried to make the business account with that domain it does not come up anymore. Have I lost it? Please, can you try to get it back, if not how long will I have to wait for it to become available again?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • As mentioned multiple times during the cancellation process, we cannot guarantee you’ll ever be able to re-register the domain.

    The good news is, we can recover it for you, but you’ll need to pay the $18 registration fee.

    I have sent a request for that to the email address on your account, so please let us know as soon as that’s done.

    Thank you so much. I have just paid the fee now. Will I now own the rights to it again?

  • Thank you for getting back to us.

    I’ve restored the deleted site and the domain sweethealing.co.uk :)

    You can now purchase the plan you desire from My Site>Plan>Plans.

    Thank you, I am just wondering, however, do I now own the domain? (Will it come up in my domain list)

    or would I have to purchase it on a plan specifically from wordpress?

  • You should see the site and domain again from My Sites. Please refresh the page and try again :)

    Let me know in case you still don’t see it under your sites.

    Thank you.

    It is here now.

    I am just wondering how do I change sweethealingdotcodotuk.wordpress.com to sweethealing.co.uk as that’s the website I paid for and want :)

  • how do I change sweethealingdotcodotuk.wordpress.com to sweethealing.co.uk as that’s the website I paid for and want

    You’ll want to set this domain as your primary one. For that, please go to My Site>Domain>Change Primary.

    I hope that helps :)
