  Hi. I recently purchased a domain name from you all, then decided word press was not the right place for me and cancelled the domain name this morning (11/4/22). I am trying to purchase that domain name again elsewhere but it says it is taken. Can you tell me how long it will take for that domain name to become available again? This is my first foray into webpages and this is all new to me. Thank you.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there:

  Is this for the domain yellowbrickbasketball.com? If so, canceling a domain does not make it immediately available to repurchase elsewhere. Here are the available options for you:

  Wait: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

  Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

  Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy an annual plan, skip the domain option, and update us here.

  Let us know which way you’d like to proceed. Thanks.
