  I decided to deleted my wordpress account and I thought deleting it would also delete my domain but it turns out that isn’t the case because yesterday I had an email notification that a new user has registered on that domain. How Do I Delete IT. Please Help

  Hi @edringergamerfec969bebf,

  When a domain is canceled or removed from your WordPress.com account, it means you’re giving up ownership of it. Here’s what happens:

  • The domain becomes inactive – your website and any email addresses using that domain will stop working.
  • You no longer control it – the domain goes back into a pool where anyone else can register it after a certain period (usually 30–90 days).
  • During that time, it may go through a redemption period, where getting it back can be more expensive and not always guaranteed.
  • Once it’s fully released, someone else can buy and use it, and you might not be able to get it again.

  I hope I’ve addressed your concern. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

  Hi @edringergamerfec969bebf,
  
  You can check the availability and the status of a domain by using a WHOIS lookup site similar to the one below.
  
  https://www.whois.com/
  
  Also, could you please share the domain in question so we can take a closer look?
  
  Let me know if you have any questions.

  hi this is the domain in question <(email visible only to moderators and staff)>

  sorry for the late reply there wasn’t any new notification (user registration) coming into my gmail so I thought it just took a bit later to get deleted, but yesterday i got a new notification (user changed their password) so I believe it is still active.

  Hi @edringergamerfec969bebf,

  No worries at all about the delayed response!

  I’ve checked your domain a-personal-narrative.com and can confirm that it’s currently registered and hosted with Bluehost. You can view more details using the link below:
  Site Profiler – a-personal-narrative.com

  If you have any questions about the registration or website setup for this domain, I recommend reaching out to Bluehost directly for personalized assistance.

  Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions!
