  Hi,

  I original had a different domain name and in the process of switching hosting my domain name was taken from me!!! I never asked for it to be removed from me. How do I get it back?

  I’ve tagged this for Staff, but also note that you posted about this topic almost a year ago. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/access-to-my-domain?replies=2#post-2305190

  If you let your domain name expire and someone else purchased it in the meantime, there would not be a way to recover the domain in question. While we are waiting for Staff to reply, here’s more information about domain expiration and what happens https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Hi @katebhopper,

  Can you confirm which domain you are referring to? Once I know, I’ll take a look and see what has happened.

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  The domain twomavericks.com was registered through WordPress.com and then cancelled a short time afterwards. After cancellation it was released and now appears to registered by someone else using a different registrar.

  I’m afraid we are unable to try and recover the domain as it is now registered elsewhere.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
