Domain
-
You guys were holding on to my domain Prissyprimadonna.com and I could not webhost from another site so I deleted it to repurchase so I can webhost elsewhere because I’ve had nothing but problems from wordpress since I started. Now my domain is parked? How do I free it up because I really want to conclude business with this site .
Thank you, -
Hi there!
It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.
Also, due to restrictions set by ICANN (the domain registry authority), simply deleting a domain won’t release it for purchase elsewhere. 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 since you won’t be notified when it is once again available for purchase, which can take up to 80 days.
Since you cancelled the domain without getting a refund, I was able to restore the domain to your account.
The domain had been renewed within the past 60 days, which means you can’t yet transfer the domain to the registrar of your choice. This is due to another ICANN regulation and isn’t something we control. However, you can update your domain here and point it to your new site now. Here are instructions on how to do this here:
Then, once that transfer hold is expired (which appears to be 7-8 days from now), you can follow the steps here to move the domain to the registrar of your choice at that time:

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything else.
