  As you cancelled a domain within 48 hours of setting it up here I understand that WordPress.com will release it. This isn’t instantaneous though. I believe there will be a period of a few days before the domain is available to purchase again. I have added the modlook tag to ask if a member of staff could be kind enough to confirm.

  Hi there,

  Your domain is currently pending cancellation, if you’d like to use the domain with Bluehost I’d recommend that we restore it to your account and you purchase the domain through us.

  If no action is taken on your part the domain will be released back to the general public within a few days and you may re-purchase it. However, it is also possible that the domain may be bought by another party before you can re-register.

  Let us know how you’d like to proceed.
