I purchased this by mistake and want to re-purchase via my existing fasthosts account. How long will it take for the domain name to become available again?

  I purchased this by mistake and cancelled it immediately. I want to purchase it through fasthosts/Wordpress. How long will it take did the domain name to become available again?

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of somerdenhopbarn.co.uk?

  .uk domains are not immediately released upon cancellation, and that domain won’t become available again until after it expires in March next year. Cancelling a domain means you give up ownership of it, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever be able to use the same domain again, regardless of how quickly after registration you cancel it.

  If you still want to use this domain, we can restore it to your WordPress.com account and help you point or transfer it to the host where you want to use it.

  Please confirm if you want us to do that, and we can send you a link to pay for the domain’s registration again, as your original payment has already been refunded.

  Awesome. I’ve just sent a payment form to you via email. Write back to us here once you’ve submitted the funds and we will get the domain restored to your account.
