    Hi there!

    We can’t manually release a domain. If you cancel a domain within its refund period, as you did in this case, it is available again for registration after about five days. Please note that when the domain is available, anyone can register it, not just you. So, there’s the chance that someone else may register it before you do.

    If you’d like to restore the domain with us, we can help you with that. You can pay just the domain registration cost ($12 for the .com domain) or upgrade to a yearly WordPress.com plan if you want to use the domain on your WordPress.com site.

    We’d love to learn more about your website so we can help you build it on WordPress.com. Would you like to tell us a bit about your website requirements?

    If you need a website first, feel free to check out our website design service and hire our experts to build your website.

    Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
