  Hello everyone !

  I accidentally deleted my domain name on WordPresse. I am now hosted at O2switch and I would like to get my old domain name back to get the transfer code and send it to O2switch. Do you have the solution to my problem?

  Thank you in advance

  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 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. You can always point the domain over to your host from WordPress.com until 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 me know.

  Thanks,

  I have emailed you a payment request. Please reply here when you have submitted the payment and we’ll restore the domain.
