  Hi WordPress Team,

  I recently deleted my wordpress account with the domain artistdubz.com, now I am creating a new website under a new account, but will still want that same web address back. WordPress tells me that that domain is expiring.

  Let me know if it is possible to get that web address back under this new account of mine.

  Thank you!

  Regards,

  Wan Leen

  Hi Wan Leen, we have a few issues here:

  – The account this was associated with was deleted quite some time ago, so to get the domain back we’ll need to go through a process to prove ownership.

  – The domain was also cancelled some time ago. It is currently in Redemption status, meaning the domain owner will need to pay an extra $80 fee to get it back, or allow the domain to continue in its current status until it is released.

  Given that, would you like to work on the ownership proof and then pay the redemption fee, and then let us work with the registrar to get it back, or do you want to wait and see if the domain is released?

  The caveat to waiting is if someone else buys the domain before you can, you would not be able to get it back anytime soon unless the new buyer was willing to sell it to you.

  What would you like to do?

  Hi Supernovia,

  Thank you for your message.

  I will work with ownership proof and paying the extra $80 fee.

  Thanks again.
