  I need to purchase domain name: michaelnaugle.net

  I recently cancelled my purchase of that domain name from another account and would like to repurchase it from this new account.

  Hey there,

  You canceled the domain within 5 days of registering it, so it should be available again soon. Once a domain name is deleted by the registry at this stage, it is immediately available for registration by any registrant through any Registrar, and that happens shortly after the 5 day grace period.

  We can immediately restore the domain for you within that 5 day period, but after that we no longer have control over it. I would recommend to have it restored and then you can just transfer it to a different account with these instructions:

  That way, you will be in possession of the domain the entire time.

  Let me know how you want to proceed.

  Thanks,
