  I am in the middle of moving my site from WordPress.com to WordPress.org and I don’t know what I did that made it disappear from the domain part of the WordPress.com side.

  Hi dreicfritz

  Have you choose domain control as your hosting provider as your domain is pointing to domain control name servers have a look at the link below :

  I am also tagging this post as ‘modlook’ for staff attention so please wait for some time they will get back to you on this.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi –

  When you edit the DNS records on a domain it can act funny for about 72 hours before it’s completely updated everywhere.

  In your situation, the domain was cancelled. You need the domain to stay actively registered in order to maintain ownership of it.

  Take a look at this guide for moving over to self hosted WordPress:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  In order to restore the domain I need the help of our domain partner. I’ve been in touch with them already and should hear back in the next few days. As soon as I have an update I’ll be back in touch.
