  Okej so I registered a domain using wordpress.com. Then I switched to wordpress.org the next day. I canceled and refunded the domain on wordpress.com and added an existing (same) domain to wordpress.org (using bluehost). Now I get that messege

  ‘The domain XXXXXX was registered within the past five days with another registrar (Automattic Inc.). You will need to wait 60 days before trying to transfer. Some registrars allow deleting the domain within 5 days of signup. If the losing registrar supports this, you may be able to delete the domain and signup for the domain here immediately. Check with the losing registrar (Automattic Inc.) for details.’

  The problem is that I did delete the domain within 5 days.. And registered it again on bluehost. So why is my domain not on bluehost?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Since you canceled your domain, you need to wait at least 5 days for it to be completely canceled. Then it will be released and it’ll be available again for registration from any registrar.

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
