  I transferred my domain to wix and got the confirmation that it was done. But now when I type in winsomeparcel.com in a browser it says that it is not released from WordPress. Since it was confirmed already last week, I deleted it from WordPress. Is it still connected to wordpress even though it’s deleted?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  You would not have been able to transfer the domain, as ICANN (the organization which oversees all domain registrars) prohibits transfers within 60 days of registration.

  Instead, 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: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

  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.

  Thank you so much for your help. I’d prefer to repurchase it as soon as possible. However, I didn’t purchase it in the first place as I got it for free with my registration of the site. If I repurchased it, would I need to pay for it for the year? How do I go about this step?

  In this case, you’d only have to pay the $18 for the domain itself, there’s no need for a full paid plan.

  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 winsomeparcel.com.

  Payment received, and winsomeparcel.com has been recovered!

  You can now direct it anywhere, even Wix, by changing the domain’s name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  After 60 days, you’ll be able to transfer it to any registrar: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/
