My domain expired and cannot use on the other sites.

    Today, I upgraded my plan to business plan which provides a free domain for a year. However, I didn’t know it was in USD, not AUD. It was kind of expensive. Therefore, I cancelled the plan and tried to register my domain name on the other site (Bluehost), but my domain name was already taken or not able to use it. I think maybe my domain name has registered once I paid for the plan. Once I visit the domain website, it says ‘Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain. ‘. Is there any way that I can entirely delete this domain and register it again on the other sites or transfer it?. Also when I try map a domain, it says ‘This domain expired recently’. I really need to use my domain name for the business. How can I remove my domain and register it on other sites?

    Hi @billionrabbits,

    The WordPress.com staff will be able to assist you with your site. I’m adding a modlook tag for their intervention.

    It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.

    Please let us know which of these options works best for you:

    Wait: You can wait about five days for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

    Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

    Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.
