    Hi I recently cancelled a domain after having it for a couple days. Is it possible to buy just the domain back from wordpress.com. It’s currently parked. http://www.joypeahealth.com

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

    Hi there,

    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 should be cancelled within another day or two, at which point you’ll be able to register it somewhere else. We have no way of manually releasing the domain sooner.

    I can also still restore the domain to your account if you prefer, but then you’ll need to pay for it again as you’ve already been refunded for your initial purchase.
