  Hi there,

  I recently made a website and was given a free domain to create my WordPress Site. However, I decided to cancel my wordpress subscription and domain. Now my domain is parked and I want to use it for another hosted site. Can you please help me release or transfer my domain?

  The domain is: atchelseas.com.

  Thank you.

  Hi,

  Thanks, but this doesn’t quite solve my problem. I also need to figure out how to get my domain back in the first place. It has been deactivated/cancelled.
  
  So how can I transfer it?

  Howdy –

  I have restored the domain to your account. You’ll see it listed under My Sites tab. There’s also an emailed payment form sent for $18 to account for the registration and restoration of the domain. We need you to pay for the registration because this was previously refunded to you.

  Now that the domain has been restored you can direct it to a different hosting provider. Whoever you decide to use will be able to give you those instructions. After the domain has been registered you can then transfer it outright. That’s not our rule but rather an internet-wide one from ICANN.

  Take a look at this page and write back if you have more questions:
