Help with Domain
-
Hi, I previously deleted my domain mariosayfantis.com from my WordPress account, but now I want to transfer it to Wix.
I can see from the WHOIS record that the domain status is clientTransferProhibited, so it’s still registered and locked.
Please help me unlock the domain and provide the EPP/Auth code so I can transfer it to Wix.
The domain no longer appears in my dashboard, but I still want to access or recover it if possible.WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
I’ve just restored the domain for you. You can follow our instructions here to transfer it to another registrar.
On a separate note, I’d love to have your feedback about why you’re moving away from WordPress.com. Is there anything we could’ve helped you with? :)
Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!

If you delete a domain then you no longer own it. You need to own a domain to be able to transfer it elsewhere. It looks like the domain expires February 2026. So no doubt WordPress.com would release it then and it would become available for purchase (first come first served).
Perhaps you should see if you could recover the domain here at WordPress.com and then transfer it using the correct procedures? This thread has been tagged for staff assistance.
While you can use your WordPress.com domain with any platform by updating the name servers, you can transfer your domain to another external provider if you wish. This guide explains how to transfer a domain registered with WordPress.com to an external provider, known as a registrar. If you wish to transfer a domain from another provider to WordPress.com, visit the Transfer a Domain to WordPress.c
