  Hello! Back in September 2020 I registered my domain name and recently I cancelled my subscription because I wasn’t blogging as much anymore and wanted to save money. Now I am starting up my small business and was hoping to use the same domain but I am unsure how I can get it back and switch to another provider with the same domain.

  Hi there!

  It’s never a good idea to cancel a domain you want to keep using. We only have a couple of days margin to get back your domain before it enters the redemption period (that would require an additional fee). I have already sent you a link where you can pay the registration fee. Once you have done that, write us back here, and we’ll restore the domain back to your account.
  Then, you’ll be able to transfer it away by following these steps:
