  Hello,

  I canceled a domain about 14 days ago. It still shows as parked in Automattic. How can I resolve this if I want to need the domain again?

  When a domain is canceled, the registrar will hold onto the domain for a time as an anti fraud measure. Eventually it will be released into the group of available domains to be registered again. But this can take a few weeks and runs the risk of someone else grabbing the domain before you are able to register it.

  The easiest way to fix this is to see if we can reverse the cancellation. If successful, you will need to repurchase the domain. Then you can point the domain to a new webhost using these instructions:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Or, once 60 days have passed, transfer to a new registrar using these instructions:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Let me know what you would like to do.

  It’s been 31 days since the domain has been parked, I was told it would be anywhere from 5-30 days. Is there a way I could be updated as to when it will be released?
