  So, firstly: I’m a moron.
  I created a wordpress.com account and purchased a domain via… .com and started building my blog. Felt a little restricted by the provided hosting after only the first day, so decided to move everything to one of your recommended providers (bluehost). To do this I took no mercy in cancelling the premium account which was refunded no problem then and there.

  In my stupidity and haste, I also deleted the domain (milkanbourbons.com) from my wordpress account, didn’t read any of the subsequent popups [ok, ok, accept, done] and arrived at bluehost to find my domain locked to automattic inc with no way of editing the domain information… you know… cos i’m stupid.

  Please help me turn back the clock here?

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

  Hello –

  I’ve restored milkandbourbons.com to your account. Once the domain is 60 days old, you’ll be able to transfer it by following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

  In the meantime, you’ll be able to point your domain to the new site by editing the name servers: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-name-servers/

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
