  Hi!

  I have a problem with my domain vilhelmiinasaine.com. I used to have a site and a domain here in WordPress and then I deleted them both because I switched to another platform to create my websites. Now I have troubles to register my once-deleted domain vilhelmiinasaine.com with the new site. It says the domain is taken. I deleted my domain over a week ago and if I try to search ‘vilhelmiinasaine.com’ there is no such a website.

  Can you bring my acces to that domain back so I can connect the domain that way?

  Hope you can help!

  Kind regards,
  Vilhelmiina

  It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.

  Please let us know which of these options works best for you:

  Wait: The domain will be returned to the public market after its original expiration date of May 30.

  Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

  Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.

  Thanks!

  What do you mean with transfering the registration after 60 days?

  Once the domain is recovered, you’ll be able to direct it anywhere by changing its name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  60 days after recovery, this is due to regulations imposed on all domain registrars, you’ll be able to transfer the domain to different registrar if you want to: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  I have sent a payment request for the total of $18 to the email address on your account.

  Once the payment is sent, please reply here to let us know, and we will recover vilhelmiinasaine.com.

  Payment received, and vilhelmiinasaine.com has been recovered!

  You can now direct it anywhere you’d like by changing the name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  It looks like the domain was not transfer locked, which makes sense in this case as it was not canceled during the grace period, so you can also transfer the domain to different registrar now if you want to: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/
