  I recently purchased a domain registration but then got a refund and deleted the site. I would like to recover the site so I can use the domain.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of silvianadile.com?

  Do you want to use the domain here or somewhere else?

  If you want to use it on a WordPress.com site, a paid plan is required. So in that case, please buy a new plan at Upgrades ->Plans and let us know here once you’ve done that, and we can restore the domain.

  If you want to use it somewhere else, the simplest option is just to wait. In this case the registry will release the domain again within the next couple of days, and you should be able to register it as a new domain, directly with the provider where you want to use it by tomorrow, or Thursday at the latest.

  We can also still restore it for you, but you won’t be able to transfer it away from us until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days. If you prefer this option, we can send you a link to pay for the domain again.

  Let us know which option you prefer.
