  Hi there!

  It looks like the domain is currently parked because it was canceled or expired. We can still restore it for you, though. Would you like us to go ahead with that?

  Also, may I know if you intend to use the domain with your WordPress.com site? A WordPress.com plan is needed to set domain as the primary address of your site, so you will want to upgrade to a plan. I see you previously had the WordPress.com Premium plan. If you’d like the same plan, you can upgrade using the link below:

  After we’ve restored the domain (we’re waiting for you to confirm) and you’ve upgraded to a WordPress.com plan, you can follow the instructions here to set the domain as the primary address of your WordPress.com site.

  Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.

  Can I restore the domain and use a different host site?

  Hi there,

  Thanks for confirming. I have restored the domain to your account, you can see it here: https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/

  Yes it s possible to connect your domain to another provider (so it can become the address of the site that you have with them. Who will you be hosting with? Did they happen to give you the domain name server (NS) addresses to connect the domain to your account with them?

  Thanks for the additional info!

  Hello there,

  It looks like you’ve done a lot of work here at WordPress.com on your site. We’d love to have you stay here. As mentioned above, you could set the main site address with a paid hosting plan.

  If there’s something that you feel offers Showit offers where we fall short, we’d love to hear that feedback.

  If you want to point the domain away, here are the instructions:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/setting-custom-a-records/

  If you want to transfer the domain away, here are these instructions:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/transfer-domain-registration/

  If you need help with your site design, I recommend our Built By Express service, which costs less than some Showit themes at $499 for five pages (you can add more at checkout).

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions and have a great day!
