  I deleted the domain http://www.turkeyrunranch.com because I wanted to develop it with WordPress on Bluehost. However, now I can’t re-purchase. Can you restore?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  It looks like you’ve canceled the domain name, meaning you no longer own it.

  Please let us know which of these options works best for you:

  Wait: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

  Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

  Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.

  Thank you for your response! If I repurchase the domain, do I have to wait 60 days to transfer it to WordPress on Bluehost?

  Yes, you will have to wait the 60 days to transfer it, but you can still direct it to Bluehost at any time by changing the domain’s name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/
