Recovering a domain name
-
I bought and soon after deleted a domain name. It’s certainly within the grace period so I’d like to know how I might recover and repurchase it. It’s not coming up as available when I just redo the process. Thank you.
The site I need help with is eneikpebe.wordpress.com.

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 for purchase again.
Are you speaking of monicamurphylemoine.com?
I see when you cancelled that domain, you also cancelled the plan that paid for it and received a full refund.
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 paid 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 in a few more days, and you should be able to register it as a new domain, directly with the provider where you want to use it towards the second half of next week.
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.

Hi!
Thank you for your response. Very helpful. I’ve now bought a plan so I would like the domain name restored. I’d like it to be eneikpebe.com, please. That’s what I bought originally too, if that helps at all.
Looking forward to hearing back!

Hi there,
I have restored eneikpebe.com you, added that subscription as a domain credit for your Plan, and cancelled eneikpebe.org since I replaced it with your preferred domain.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
