  I was hosting my domain with wordpress, but cancelled it yesterday. Now the domain is ‘parked with Automatic.’ I am wondering what this means and in how long I will be able to repurchase my domain

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

  Hi there,

  As the warning said on the page where you cancelled the domain, you should only cancel a domain if you don’t want to use it any more at all. If you still want to use it, you should map or transfer it somewhere else instead.

  Cancelled domains are not released immediately, but can take anything from a few days to over a year before they are released again. In your case, as you cancelled the domain on the same day you bought it, it should become available again right after the weekend.
