  Hi, I recently purchased a domain through WordPress.com but canceled it within 24 hours. I’ve reconsidered and would like to re-register the domain. This happened yesterday, so I’m still within the grace period When I try to do get the URL within the WordPress platform, it (correctly) says that this domain recently expired and directs me to support here. Since I’m within the grace period, my understanding is that I can re-register the domain at the same price. How can I do this? Many thanks for your help!

  For reference, I originally purchased the domain 41 hours ago, so I’m still within a 48-hour window of having started this whole process.

  I’ve restored that domain to your account, and linked it with the new plan you bought, so you can continue using it now.
