  I had deleted my domain from GoDaddy to use fully on WordPress, but now they’re holding it as “Parked”!

  Is this only going to be done for a short period of time? And I have DNS information under “My Domains”. I have a feeling I did something the wrong way. Can anyone help?

  Thanks,
  Stephanie

  Domain Registration and Domain Mapping are distinct services, and both are needed to use an existing domain with a WordPress.com site.

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

  If you’d like to use the domain chuonthat.com with your WordPress.com site, make sure that it’s properly registered at Go Daddy:

  https://support.godaddy.com/

  If you have additional questions, please let us know.

  @pmciano Thanks for the reply! I had deleted my ownership of the domain through GoDaddy thinking that it would be then “released” and I could find it again through WordPress… So would I have to “buy” it again with GoDaddy and go through them?

  Since the domain is already canceled, I’ve removed your Domain Mapping Upgrade for chuonthat.com. Also, I’ve associated chuonit.com with your WordPress.com Premium Plan, and refunded the charge associated with it:

  If you’re still interested in chuonthat.com, you can try to register it again once it has gone through the expiration process.
