  Hello,
  My domain has recently expired and I would like to cancel it. I plan to buy it back again to use with a photo-hosting site, since that seems easier than trying to transfer it over. How soon can my domain be cancelled and available for re-purchase with my photo-hosting site?

  Thank you,
  William Bartlett

  Howdy,

  I wouldn’t recommend canceling your domain if you want to use it elsewhere. If you do, there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to register it again.

  Please try renewing your domain at Store -> Domains in your dashboard.

  You can follow this guide to keep it registered here while pointing it to a different host:
