  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of figgydee.com?

  Cancelled domains are not released immediately, and it can take anything from a few days to over a year before a cancelled domain becomes available again, if at all. You should never cancel a domain that you still want to use, as there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to use it again somewhere else in future.

  I see when you cancelled your domain, you also cancelled the plan that paid for it and received a full refund.

  Do you want to use the domain here or somewhere else?

  If you want to use it on a WordPress.com site, a paid plan is required. So in that case, please buy a new paid plan at Upgrades ->Plans and let us know here once you’ve done that, and we can restore the domain.

  If you want to use it somewhere else, the simplest option is just to wait. In this case the registry will release the domain again in a few more days, and you should be able to register it as a new domain, directly with the provider where you want to use it by the weekend.

  We can also still restore it for you, but you won’t be able to transfer it away from us until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days. If you prefer this option, we can send you a link to pay for the domain again.

  Let us know which option you prefer.
