  Hi,

  I bought a domain from WP called aurakorhonen.com and I cancelled it. But it seems that it is still there since I cant use it anymore. So it is not free for me to use anymore even though I cancelled it.

  What can I do?

  Kind regards,
  Aura

  Site: https://aurakorhonen.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?

  If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.

  If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again later this week, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait we can still restore it manually as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.

  Let me know what you’d prefer.

  Hi,

  Thanks for the quick response! I would like to use the domain somewhere else, please. I will wait for awhile and register it once it is available again.

  Thanks!

  Regards,
