  I cancelled my plan and my domain through WordPress, becaue I am going to use a more simplified web builder/host (Wix). I purchased the plan and domain on 7/26/21 and cancelled it on 7/29/21. My new Wix plan includes a domain, so I wanted to use the domain that I previously had through WordPress. However, the domain is parked as of right now. Can you tell me how or when I’ll be able to use/re-purchase the domain name?

  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 from cancellation 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.
