  Hi there, you basically would have two options:

  1. Wait for the domain to be released, as it was cancelled within 5 days of being renewed. This isn’t something we have control over, nor do we receive notifications when it’s released unfortunately. There’s a little more information about that here:
     https://wordpress.com/support/domains/cancel-refund-a-domain/
  2. Pay the domain registration fee alone so that we can restore the domain and make sure it stays registered. You’d then need to point/connect the domain to your preferred host, until it’s at least 60 days old, at which point it can be transferred. More info:

     • https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/
     • https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-pricing-and-available-tlds/ (cost of domain registration)

  Let us know if you’d want to go ahead and re-purchase the domain and we can get a payment form set up for that!
