  Hi, Yesterday I accidentally registered a domain name I don’t want. Can I give it back? I don’t want to setup the proper name until I get this sorted out? I did email yesterday, but haven’t heard back. Thx Inga

  The site I need help with is enlightensca.wordpress.com.

  Hi @nelming — sure! You’ve got a few days to cancel a domain and still get a refund (96 hours to be exact). I don’t see any custom domains on this account though. What’s the domain? And, are you able to log into the account you bought it with?

  Hi, The erroneous domain is enlightensca – I only registered it as Free for 1 year. Then realized my error & never proceeded with payment for more years. However, even without paying it’s waiting for me to continue building the site with that domain name. No money has been transacted. I want to fix the error & then register the correct domain & pay for a couple of years hosting. Thx nelming
