From WordPress. COM to WordPress .ORG, domain problems
-
I originally thought wordpress.com and wordpress.org were the same things so I did the 12 day premium trail. I only used it for about two days until I canceled it because I realized the difference. I used the domain name determinedlatina.com and now that I am trying to register for self hosting, it doesn’t let me. Is there a way for the domain to be released? How long until I have to wait until it is released? I don’t want to use .org or .net, etc. Please help, this is super inconvenient.

Hi there,
When you cancel a domain name, it can take up to several weeks for the domain name to be released by our domain registrar. There’s also no guarantee that the domain name will be available for you to register again.
If you’d like, you can pay for the domain here at WordPress.com and we can try to recover it for you right away (so you don’t have to wait for it to be released). You can then point the domain to your WordPress.org host to use it there.
Please let me know if you have any questions about that!

Hi there,
The domain name is $18/year, or $26/year if you want private registration. I just sent you an email with details for how to pay if you’d like to try that.
You’re welcome to reply directly to that email if you have any other questions!
