Domain deleted by mistake

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi. I purchased the domain vittoriogazzera.com and then, by mistake, I canceled the purchase. Is it possible to restore it somehow? If not, how long do I have to wait for it to become available for purchase again?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there,

    Are you considering using your domain again on your WordPress.com site, or do you have plans to use it on a different platform?

    If you’d like to keep it here on WordPress.com, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only, and then I’ll get it restored for you. Just remember that, in this case, it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To make the domain the primary address people see when they visit your site, you’ll need to upgrade to one of our plans.

    Now, if you’d rather use it somewhere else and don’t mind waiting a few days, your domain should become available again by early next week. Then, you’ll be able to register it directly with the provider where you want to use it. If you don’t want to wait, I can still restore it manually for you, as mentioned above, and then help you point it to the other provider.

    Just let me know what works best for you.

    Yes, I want to use it again on my WordPress site and then upgrade to make it the primary address. Thanks for your help.

  • Hey @vittoriogazzera,

    If you sign up for one of our yearly plans, I can restore the domain for you for free using the free domain credit for your new plan. Simply upgrade to any yearly plan and then let us know here, and we will restore the domain for you!

    If you wish to sign up for a monthly plan, I can send you a manual payment link so you can pay for the domain purchase, and we can manually restore the domain for you.

    Let me know how you would like to proceed! Thanks!

    I just upgraded to the yearly Starter plan.

  • Thanks for the update! I have restored the domain to your account using your new plan’s domain credit. You should be all set!
