  Hello! We just removed the domain because we want to buy it on the platform we’re using to build the website, and I wanted to know how much time does it usually takes for it to be available again for purchase on another platform. Thank you so much

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.

  Please let us know which of these options works best for you:

  Wait: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

  Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

  Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.

  Hi Mac!
  Thank you very much for your reply.
  We’d like to repurchase the domain and then transfer the registration after the 60 days – can you walk me through the process, what do we have to do to make that happen?

  Hello there,

  Ok no problem – you’ve just been emailed an invoice to settle the domain registration fee.

  Please be sure to check any spam inboxes that may be in place.

  Once settled, we can restore that domain.

  Hi there,

  Your subscription is for the site christthekingallsaints.wordpress.com with the domain ctkecfw.org.

  christthekingfortworth.wordpress.com has never been registered.

  I also see that you had the domain name christthekingfortworth.com (which is registered through GoDaddy) connected to that same site (christthekingallsaints.wordpress.com). But you replaced that domain with ctkecfw.org which you registered today.
