Domain Name Mistake

    Good evening,

    I bought a domain (eeriequerypod.com) and then thought I could use it for an existing page so I canceled the purchase. Well I realized how to do it but now the domain says it’s unavailable. How long until I will be able to add this domain? I think it’s not marked as available again yet.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Ali,

    Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?

    If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case, it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.

    If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again by the end of this week, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait, we can still restore it manually, as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.

    Let me know what you’d prefer.

    This is perfect, thanks! Yeah, I was going to buy a plan as well so that way works best. I really appreciate the help!

    Hey there,

    Ok, so to confirm, do you wish to re-purchase the plan and the domain? If yes, please repurchase the plan via Upgrades > Plans.

    Once complete, let us know and we can restore the plan.

    Many thanks!
