  I want to migrate to wordpress.com. The only thing I need is my domain gokamala.com. I just let it free, but it seems to be in use

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You already had that domain registered through WordPress.com but canceled it a few days ago.

  Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?

  If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.

  If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again by early next week, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait I can still restore it manually as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.

  Let me know what you’d prefer.

  I plan on using it somewhere else.

  I’m glad there is an option to wait, I wasn’t sure if it would be free in 1 week or 1 year.

  If possible I would prefer not to wait that week, and try to restore the domain and transfer it to another hosting service.

  So, to clarify, you would like to re-purchase this domain from WordPress.com?

  YES.

  Please note that the money has not yet been reimbursed.

  Thanks for confirming.

  I just sent an invoice to the email address on file for your account. Once that’s paid, we’ll restore the domain and you can point it to a new host right away. Then, once the ICANN-required 60-day lock has passed, you can transfer the registration to a domain registrar of your choice.

  Please let us know when you’ve paid that invoice as we’re not notified when it has been processed.

  Thanks!
