  I had a domain (queertheologen.nl), which was registered with one.com (which hosted the previous website). I had made it my primary domain in WordPress and it worked. But now SIDN (the company behind .nl) has informed me that the domain is deleted. So how do I make WordPress the new registrar of this domain?

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

  Hi marcoderks,

  I just looked up the status of your domain queertheologen.nl, and it seems that the domain is in quarantine. This means that you’ll have to contact one.com to redeem the domain, or wait for it to be deleted entirely.

  Here’s an article from SIDN about the quarantine process:

  Also, WordPress.com doesn’t accept inbound domain transfers. If you really want to register the domain using WordPress.com, you’ll have to wait until it’s deleted before doing so. Do note that other people will also be able to register the domain once it’s deleted.
