I cancel the domain registration. When can I re-register it?
-
Hi,
I recently canceled a domain I registered on WordPress and I actually wanted to transfer it to another registrar. But now I don’t think I can do it anymore. What should I do to complete the transfer or when will the domain will be available again? (I will expire in July tho…)

It wasn’t a great idea to cancel a domain that doesn’t need renewing until July. The domain is now owned by WordPress.com until July at least. What you should have done is just pointed the domain at your new host or transferred it to your new host while you still owned it. This thread is tagged to ask if a member of staff could recover the domain for you.

I see. Thanks for the reply! So what I should do now is recover the domain and then transfer it?

Hi there – since you had already paid for the domain I’ve restored it for you. You can now use this guide to transfer the domain to another registrar: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/transfer-domain-registration/
If your goal is to build a site on a new host with that domain, but you aren’t completely sure you will stay with that new host, you also have the option of leaving the domain here and connecting it to your new host: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/change-name-servers/
