  I removed my premium earlier from my account and received a refund, how long will it be until my domain is available again?

  Thanks in advance :)

  Which domain are you referring to? chewieecom.wordpress.com never expires. Do you mean chewiee.com

  If you intend on using that domain somewhere else on the web, you should not cancel it. You can point it to your new web hosting instead. https://en.support.wordpress.com/cancel-domain/

  Do you want Staff to try and recover the custom domain?

  Hi there,

  Your domain will only be available again after its expiration date in June next year. Cancelled domains are not released immediately, and there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to use a domain again later once you cancel it, so you should only cancel a domain if you no longer want to use it at all.

  In your chat with us you also very specifically said you no longer want the domain.

  If you still want to use the domain, the only way you’ll be able to is if I restore it to your account. Then you can point it to another provider until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days, at which point you’ll be able to transfer it. Please confirm if I should restore the domain, and I’ll send you a link to pay for the registration again.
