  Cancelling a domain does not make it immediately available for registration elsewhere. Once a domain is canceled, there is a short window of 5 days during which time you can renew the domain at the regular price. After that window has closed, it can incur a redemption fee ($80) if you want to restore it later. You can read more about this here.

  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.
