  What is the domain URL please?

  I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi there,

  When a domain is canceled through WordPress.com is it not released immediately, instead, it can take up to a year for the domain to be released depending on when the domain was canceled.

  As your account, aslingsolutions has been closed the domains cannot be restored immediately. If you’d like to use the domain elsewhere please contact us at https://wordpress.com/help/contact and request your account be restored.

  Once that is done we can restore the domain allowing it to be used at another hosting provider.

  For more on account restoration see:
