  I want to cancel my registration with WordPress and delete my blog but I’d like to be able to reuse my domain name (ryangenjithomas.com) in the future at another host/registrar (ie godaddy, 1on1).

  thanks,

  I would encourage you not to cancel your domain registration. That runs a very real risk causing you to lose your domain with no chance to recover it.

  You can either use these instructions to point your WordPress.com registered domain to your new webhost:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Or you can use these instructions to transfer your domain to another registrar:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Take a look through those pages and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.
