  I’m trying to switch my capturedslc.com domain from WordPress to Wix and I’m unable to. I deleted the domain from WordPress thinking that would work but apparently not. What do I need to do now?

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

  Deleting a domain is almost never a good idea. You significantly increase the chance that you will lose control of your domain.

  I can try and reverse the cancellation. Otherwise you will need to wait until the domain is released by the registrar in order to use it again, and that can take some time.

  If we are able to recover the domain, you can use these instructions to point it to a new webhost:

  Or these instructions to transfer to another registrar:

  Thanks for the quick response! If you can attempt to reverse it I will opt to point it to a new web host.

  I will try and reverse the cancellation. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.

  Good news, we were able to recover the domain.

  Take a look and let me know if you are seeing it active in your account again.
