  Hi,

  I stupidly cancelled my domain ( kelmorales.com )and deleted my blog associated with it when I should just have transferred it. I did this because I wanted to transfer to BlueHost and when I created my BlueHost account and tried to start a new blog, I was trying to use my domain still.

  I was ignorant on how to transfer it and thought that I need to delete my old blog to have the domain transferred. Only later I realised that I didn’t need to do this and I just have to update the DNS.

  Is it still possible to retrieve the domain so I can repoint it?

  Any help will be appreciated!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore kelmorales.com to your account, but I cannot guarantee that we will be able to get the domain back. If I am successful, I can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  I will let you know once I hear back from the registrar.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thanks darnelldibbles!! Much appreciated.

  Do I need to create a new site for this if it can be restored?

  Hi Kel –

  The domain has been reactivated and it’s currently attached to the only active site on your account, kemikulzexpress.wordpress.com. If you’d like to create a new site and move the domain to that, let us know so we can take care of that for you. Thanks!
