Recovering Deleted Domain
-
Hi, disgruntled team member of mine recently deleted our domain without my knowledge. Only realized after a while of not receiving emails on my email address registered to the domain. I’d like to know whats the procedure on getting the domain back. I think It was deleted on the 17 of May.
The domain in question is dbnspotter.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @dbnspotter, I’ve reached out to the registrar to see if we can get the domain back. This can take a few business days, but we’ll let you know as soon as we have more information.
In the meantime, since this domain was deleted by your account, I’d recommend taking a few security measures:
– Change your password and add 2FA: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
– We can also log you out of all logged-in sessions if you’d like.
– Rather than giving any employee / group member your login information, please consider adding them as users to the site with a proper role:

I hope this helps! If you have other questions, just let us know.
