  Hi I have found a web hosting service that is tailored for short term rentals like mine, I cancelled the domain but now it is showing that it’s parked. Can you please explain how to delete the domain so I can use it with my new service?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, yes, cancelling a domain parks it as it is returned to the registry. You would want to transfer it instead. Luckily you let us know right away, so it was still in a grace period. I’ve restored the domain for you.

  Here’s how to point it to the new host:

  Then you can transfer it like this:

  Hoping this helps!
