  Hi!
  I recently deleted my domain, but changed my mind now and would like to buy it again, however, now it says that the domain is parked. How soon could I purchase it again?

  Kind regards,

  Hi,

  can we have the name of your domian please ?

  Are you sure the domain still isn’t in your account? When a domain is parked it doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have it, it means it’s not associated with a website or hosting plan.

  Do you want staff to recover it to your account or do you want to wait (however long that might be) until the domain is released when it will be available for you to register again (or perhaps someone else). I am tagging you to modlook to have someone form the staff to look into it.

  It can be difficult to get a domain back after you have cancelled. You should only cancel a domain if you are sure you no longer want it and are okay with the potential of someone else registering and using it.

  Thanks

  Hi folks!

  
  @kirasene, I was able to restore your upgrades for you. You’re not due for renewal for several months, so nothing to pay right now. If you’re running into frustrating issues and need some help, please know that you have direct access to staff support here:

  @adarshhalan, thanks for your willingness to help in our community! What you said about parking is often the case with some hosts. In our system, parked usually does mean it’s pending deletion or cancellation, and is not currently in the customer’s account. Every domain here must somehow be associated with a site. I’ll see if I can pass along some feedback to make the parking page clearer. But in the meantime if you run into trouble like this, or any situation with a purchased product or payments instead of questions about WordPress itself, just add “modlook” for staff attention — we’re here to help!

  Cheers, all!

  Hmmm, at this point the domain is showing as transferred to and pointed at Bluehost, so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

  I did go ahead and re-add mapping for good measure, just in case you wanted to point it here.

  If you’re planning to transfer anyway, I’d recommend these steps:
  https://move.wordpress.com

  Or if you want to point it back here for now, let us know and we’ll help you sort that out.
