    When domains are cancelled, they are not immediately. In cases like yours where the domain was cancelled right after it was registered, the hold period is only about a week. After that time the domain becomes available for registration again.

    If you don’t want to wait, I can also attempt to get the domain back for you. If you decide to go that way, the domain would have to remain in your WordPress.com account for 60 days. After that you could transfer it to the registrar of your choice.

    Note that while you can’t transfer the domain during that time, you would steill be able to use it with a site hosted elsewhere by pointing the domain to the name servers of you new host.

    Let me know which path you want to take and I’m happy to help you with next steps.
