  Hi there! I recently requested a refund for the premium plan for my website, as I realized it wasn’t quite the services that I was looking for (i.e plugins, etc.) so I requested a refund and then was going to use WordPress through a host (like Bluehost) – and register my domain name there as they give a free domain name when I purchase their plan. I was wondering how long it takes for my http://www.Maritimemeg.com domain to become available again? I noticed that even if I wanted to purchase this through WordPress now it still isn’t available, but I would prefer if possible to get it through Bluehost if they are offering it free with the plan. Do you know how long this can typically take? Thank you so much for your help! – Megan

  You can wait about five days for the domain to be released so you can purchase it with your new provider.

  We can also restore it here if you need to access it sooner. You’ll be able to point it to the new service, but it will be 60 days before you can transfer the registration itself. If you want that option, let us know and we’ll send an invoice for the cost of the domain.

  Hi there,

  It has been over 5 days, so the domain is no longer registered with us. However, maritimemeg.com is now available for registration again. You can follow the instructions on our support page to register it again with your site:

  Thanks,

  Hello!

  Thank you so much for your prompt response. The issue was now that I go to buy the maritimemeg.com and WordPress is still telling me it is not available. Even today when I checked again. Can you help with this? Thank you!

  Please try again now and let me know if you still do not see the option.
