  Oops! I can see the domain in “hold” status, so we’ll reach out to the registrar to see if we can get that back before domain redemption starts. We’ll update you as soon as we have word.

  Going forward, please avoid canceling any wanted domains here or with any provider. The process for getting a canceled domain back can be expensive, or you can wait it out for several weeks, but that’s risky. So once the domain is back, you’ll want to transfer it instead using these steps. Cheers!

  Great news – we heard back from the registrar, and they were able to restore the domain for you without any extra fees.

  Please go ahead and follow this process for transferring the domain. You’ll want to wait until the transfer is complete. Thanks!

  Awesome. Have decided to stay with wordpress, just did not need the business features in my plan. So does that mean I don’t need to do anything?

  Thanks

  Hello there,

  That’s great news!

  No further steps required in that case.
