  I took premium subscription plan with domain name – nidhiunderinvertedcommas but I then cancelled my plan and deleted my sits. Now I am not able to have this domain name again. I want this domain name again. Please help

  I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

  Hey there,

  You canceled the domain 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 a 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. You can always point the domain to a different host from WordPress.com until the 60 days of registration hits (where you can transfer the domain anywhere you please). That will at least guarantee you will get it back without any potential complications. Let us know.

  Thanks!
