  Hello there,

  When cancelling a domain you actually should have a 5 days window to renew it, you can read more about it here:

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#cancel-a-domain-name

  You can renew a domain by going to Upgrades -> Domains and finding the domain.

  Hello there,

  Could you tell me how can I get it back or pay? If I search my domain, it’s still can’t be selected.. They say I need to contact support. Do I need to pay for one of the plans and get a refund again except my domain? Please help me out this and thank you for your help!!!

  Hi there,

  Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?

  If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.

  If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again in about five days, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait we can still restore it manually as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.

  Let me know what you’d prefer.
