  Hello!

  It looks like your same question has been answered here.

  I see a modlook is already tagged, but just FYI, they cannot guarantee that they will be able to get the domain back. If they are successful, they will send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  If the they are not able to retrieve it through the registrar, you can periodically check this link to see if the domain name becomes available,

  http://www.whois.com/whois/joachimhoekx.com

  If the domain becomes available, that link will show a notice that “joachimhoekx.com is available to register!” and you’ll be able to to re-register it.

  I hope they are able to get it back for you!

  Hi there,

  The 60 lock applies to active domains, not cancelled ones. If you cancel a domain you stop being its owner and can’t do anything with it until the registrar decides to release it.

  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. Only cancel a domain if you’re completely sure you no longer want it at all.

  In this case your domain won’t be available for registration elsewhere until after its expiration in May next year, but I can still restore it to your account with us. Then you should be able to transfer it to another registrar. Please confirm if I should do that.

  Okay, I’ve restored your domain. You should be able to transfer it now by following the instructions here:
