  Hello there, could you let us know the domain?

  If you have the plan to re-use the same domain or transfer it to another domain registrar, do not cancel the domain registration as you might not be able to register it.

  Please read this guide on transferring a domain to another registrar: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  Hi there,

  Can you please read our support document which will tell you more about canceling domain:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/cancel-domain/

  but I need to be able to buy it in other company

  It may take from few days to a week to be available again to register, so if you don’t want to wait then you can continue using it by following the above link which I have mentioned. In that case, you may end up losing the domain name because it’s available publicly to register.

  I am tagging this thread for Staff so they can actually check if the domain was purchased from your account and get back to you with a response.

  You can also let us know if you want to restore that domain cancellation, if the amount is refunded then you’ll have to pay back for the restoration.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  You should never cancel a domain if you plan on transferring it as it may become unavailable for quite some time.

  Thankfully I have restored the domain back to your account and after the 60 days transfer lock, you’ll be able to transfer it to another registrar. In the meantime, you can keep it with us and point to your site by changing its name servers:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.
