Hi –
Cancelling the domain does not make it available for purchase elsewhere. Please read over these instructions:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/cancel-domain/The domain will need to be restored to your account. Then you will proceed with the domain transfer instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/
Otherwise, it will take about 90 days for the domain to process through the cancellation process. At that time it then is available for sale to the public. Unless you’re the first person to register it at that time it will be lost.
Let me know if you’d like help with the restoration of Onelgamusic.net

What you’ve just described is not possible. You’ll need to add the domain back to your WordPress.com account to regain ownership of it and move forward.
Once the domain is restored to your account you can then transfer it to another domain provider. This is how you do it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/
Just because the domain is registered through WordPress.com does not mean you have to use it with a WordPress.com site. You can edit the DNS records to show a site from a different platform or transfer the registration all together.
More details about domains can be found in this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/

So there’s no way Onelgamusic.net can ever be available on the internet anymore??? if Yes then restore the domain.

Hi lizkarkoski…
please restore the domain to my account, let me try purchasing it on wordpress since there’s no other alternative… -
No problem. I’ve sent a note to our domain partner asking that the domain be restored. I’ll post an update once I hear back from them. Typically, that happens in about 48 hours.

Good Morning –
I’ve been able to restore the domain to your account. You’ll need to submit the payment for the registration in order for the domain to continue working. Please reply with any follow up questions. Best wishes :)
