  Hi there,

  I checked your account and the domain was registered with Automattic through WordPress.com, but you deactivated the domain today. Were you wanting to use the domain with the site you have hosted at Inmotion?

  Let me know, thanks!

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore uvikmedia.com to your account, but I cannot guarantee that we will be able to get the domain back. If I am successful, I can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  I will let you know once I hear back from the registrar.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  I was actually able to restore your domain without issue! Everything should be good to go now.

  If you want to keep using your domain but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you can move the domain to another site if you have had it registered with us for at least 60 days:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

  Otherwise, you can keep the domain registered here and point to your new site host. For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  Thanks!

  Hi @chadreineke

  We’ve just heard back from our domain provider, and unfortunately, they’re not able to restore reinekedesign.com because it’s currently “pending delete” (the last step of the cancellation process).

  I’ve gone ahead and removed the Domain Mapping for reinekedesign.com from your account, so you can either register a new domain as part of your site’s Personal plan, or wait for the reinekedesign.com domain to become available to register again (which may take a few weeks).

  To see if the domain name becomes available, you can periodically check this link:

  http://www.whois.com/whois/reinekedesign.com

  If the domain becomes available, that link will show a notice that “reinekedesign.com is available to register!” and you’ll be able to go here to re-register it:

  Hello,

  I also have the same problem. I just stupidly cancelled my domain and now it says “the domain is parked with automattic”. Could you help me restore the domain to my account?

  My domain is onthebanwagon2017.com

  Thank you.

  Hi @onthebanwagon2017, sorry we didn’t see this earlier as it was on an older thread. Looks like staff was able to help you in another thread, so we’ll go ahead and close this one. Cheers!
