  I need to use the same domain name that I initially registered with you.

  Hello,

  you will need to point your domain DNS to your host or transfer the domain entirely to another register.
  Here are a few useful articles with the instructions on how to either:

  I hope this helps.

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of nazhemp.com?

  Cancelled domains are not released immediately, and it can take anything from a few days to over a year before a cancelled domain becomes available again, if at all. You should never cancel a domain that you still want to use, as there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to use it again somewhere else in future. Only cancel a domain if you’re completely sure you no longer want it at all.

  In this case your domain should be available again by early next week, at which point you will be able to register it somewhere else. We cannot manually release the domain immediately.

  If you still want to use that domain with WordPress.com, please create a new site in your account and upgrade to one of our paid plans, then I can restore the domain for you to the new site.
