My domain is parked… Help please
-
Hello,
I wanted to transfer my domain name to another host. Ignoring the consequence, I canceled my domain name. Now I have the message “This domain is parked.”. What should I do to recover my domain name and transfer it?The url wordpress is: https://nyumbanitravels.wordpress.com
Thanks

Hi there! Thanks for your patience.
I want to clarify that cancelling a domain doesn’t immediately make it available for purchase elsewhere. But don’t worry, we can help you with this.
Your domain was registered as part of the “free for the first year” offer with your yearly Explorer plan, which is still active. However, the domain is currently in the redemption period, as explained here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period
To recover the domain, we’ll need to pay an $80 redemption fee to the domain registrar. Unfortunately, this fee is non-negotiable and not set by us. If you agree to proceed, I can send you a payment request and then contact our domain registrar once the fee has been paid.
Let me know how you’d like to proceed!

Hi,
Thanks for your respond. That’s a bummer. But I would like to continue to get the domain back. So I would like to get a payment request to reopen the domain.

Thank you for reaching out again. Unfortunately, the domain exited redemption around April 15th, so we’re unable to recover it at this time as it’s pending release.
Here’s what you can do next: Keep a close eye on your preferred domain registrar to see when the domain becomes available for purchase again. We don’t have precise information on when this will happen, nor do we receive notifications once it’s available. However, checking daily should increase your chances of catching it as soon as it’s back on the market.
I hope this clears up the situation for you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
