  Last year I decided to remove my site as I was struggling financially to pay for the renewals. I am considering remodelling my site and starting things up again but was hoping to use the same Domain name and URL of get sidetracked.co.uk it says in the site that it is already mapped to a WordPress site, can you advise if this is still available to me?

  Kind regards,

  Fran

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  https://sidetracked.co.uk/ is hosted by Amazon.com and redirects to http://www.sidetracked.com/ which is hosted by Cloudflare.

  @getsidetrackedwithme:

  Since that site nor your domain was hosted with us, we’re limited to what we can help with and advise. But I can get you pointed in the right direction to get help.

  If you let the domain lapse, it will eventually become available to anyone to purchase. Currently, someone else owns the registration for the domain sidetracked.co.uk and is redirecting it to sidetracked.com as @staartmees indicated.

  Did you instead mean the URL getsidetracked.co.uk? If so, we’ll need to check with our domains team to see if the domain is recoverable.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Thanks for the replies,

  You are absolutely spot-on it was getsidetracked.co.uk that I was looking to reinstate- my original message was autocorrected on my phone.

  I had originally registered for getsidetracked.co.uk and then let the domain lapse but would love to reinstate it if possible please.

  Kind regards,

  Fran

  Hello Fran,

  It is possible to restore: getsidetracked.co.uk.

  In order to set a custom primary domain, the site would need to have a paid plan.

  If you wish to purchase a plan, we can then restore the domain for you. :)

  I would be thrilled if I could do that. Can you please advise how I go about reinstating this with a paid plan?

  Many thanks

  Fran

  Hello Fran,

  Awesome! Once the paid plan is purchased – re-instating that is something we’d need to do on our end for you. :)

  Hello Fran,

  Awesome, I’ve restored getsidetracked.co.uk for you.

  I see getsidetracked.uk has been registered – is this intentional? If yes, you would need to settle the domain registration fee as an additional domain would be considered an additional purchase.

  If not, I can cancel that domain for you.

  I really only wanted the .co.uk domain but I couldn’t see another way to sort out my payment 😊 I’m happy to lose the .UK domain if it can be swapped?

  Many thanks ,
