Deletion of domain??? No I didn't want that!
-
Hi WordPress, I am trying to move the hosting of my domain to blue host and I think I royally screwed up because I thought I just shut down my account but looks like by deleting my site I lost my domain so I cannot even use bluehost. Can I get it back?! I am panicking because I am just starting a business based on this domain?

Hello there,
I have tagged this thread with modlook for staff to help you. Can you please provide the URL of the site you require assistance with so staff can better assist you? Thanks

Thank you! I am so upset that I messed this up and hope that wordpress can help me!
The URL is: themaydiaries.com
I hope this can be undone!

Hi @hollymayj, sorry to hear that! We usually display a warning saying the domain won’t be available if you cancel it — please let me know if that did not show up.
When you cancel a domain, it is returned to the registrar. I’m contacting them to see if we can get it back.
Also, will you head to wordpress.com/star and create a blank, non-upgraded site? I’ll attach the domain to that, then you can manage its settings and point it elsewhere.
This may help too:

Hi Supernovia!
Thanks for jumping in, I clicked on thw link and it asks me to resign up and if I log into my account i just get asked for a domain name. Is that right?

Be logged in to hollymayj and go to https://wordpress.com/start/
Create a single, free site using the mysite.wordpress.com type address (of course mysite is just an example)
No upgrades needed

Thank you @justjennifer!
@supernovia I have created the blank site now so will await further instructions from you.

@justjennifer I just realized my link said /star not /start — thanks for clearing up that confusion. :)

@hollymayj we were able to get your domain back, and I’ve added it back to your account. You can use these steps to point it to another host:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/Or, if your new host doesn’t support that, you can use this.
