  Hello there Teresa!

  If you want to keep using your grandpasfamilyhistory.com domain but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can continue using the domain by connecting it to a site hosted with another provider:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

  However, if you don’t want this domain at all, I can cancel and remove it from your account for you.

  Before I do, you should know that when we cancel a domain, it can take up to several weeks to be released by our registrar.

  **We can’t guarantee that you will ever be able to purchase grandpasfamilyhistory.com again once canceled, so please keep this in mind.**

  Alternatively, you can keep it until it expires, and simply not renew it after that point. You’ll be given the option to renew or cancel the domain upon expiration.

  Let me know how you’d like to proceed and I can get the ball rolling for you. I just wanted you to know all the ramifications of domain cancellation before you confirmed you wanted me to take this action.

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  It does expire next month so I will wait until then. Thank-you!
