  Hello, I ended up refunding a domain name that I bought and have changed my mind and now want it back. I know this was quite brash of me, but if anyone can help me that would be great!

  The domain was: http://www.thetechtrip.com

  This domain seems to no longer be purchasable anymore. Is it possible to retrieve it or…? Thanks for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Omar,

  When you cancel a newly registered domain, it takes some time (usually 1-2 weeks) for the domain to be fully cancelled so it can be registered again. However, we may be able to recover that domain for you — I just sent you an email with more details, and you’re welcome to reply directly to that email if you have any questions. :)

  Oh, thank you very much. I guess I’ll just wait till it’s available again.
