  Hi there, Staff will reply when they look in on this thread

  Just noting that you should never cancel a domain if you intend to use it, even if it’s somewhere else on the web. If you don’t want to use the domain with a WordPressdotcom site, you can point your newly registered domain’s name servers to your new web hosting until you can transfer it to them after 60 days, or just keep the domain here and continue pointing it to your new site elsewhere.

  More info here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/cancel-domain/

  Thanks for your patience while Staff get back to you.

  Hi tamarka18,

  Cancelling a domain means giving up ownership so this isn’t something we recommend doing if it will be needed again in the future.

  As blissfulmagazine.com was cancelled so soon after registration, it should be released around five days after the cancellation date. Domains are released on a first come, first served basis so I recommend keeping an eye out for when it becomes available.

  Do you want to use blissfulmagazine.com for another site or is it no longer needed at all? I can send a payment request and try to restore the domain or you can wait for its release, if you prefer.
