  Hey there,

  You canceled pondviewwoodcrafts.com within 5 days of registering it, so it should be available again soon. Once a domain name is deleted by the registry at this stage, it is immediately available for registration by any registrant through any Registrar, and that happens shortly after the 5-day grace period.

  We can immediately restore the domain for you within that 5-day period, but after that, we no longer have control over it. So, depending on where you want to register the domain (with us or elsewhere), you should decide ASAP on how you want it re-registered because I see it’s already been four days since the cancelation.

  I just sent a manual payment to you via email. Please make the payment as soon as you can and post in this thread. Then, we’ll proceed with restoring the domain back to your account.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thank you, I submitted payment. So this registers my domain for a year?
