Reinstating a deleted domain
-
I purchased a domain and web hosting from Word Press, but needed to cancel. I cancelled within an hour and Word Press refunded my money. HOWEVER, I am trying to purchase just the domain again and it is saying it is not available. How long does it take to recover a deleted domain?

Canceling domains
It is important to know that canceled domains are not released by the registrar immediately. Also, note that there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to use a domain again as it may be sold to someone else. Therefore you should cancel a domain, if and only if, you are sure you do not wish to use it again.If you want Staff to investigate and try to restore the domain you must provide specifics.
What is the URL of the domain?
Which wordpress.COM plan did you purchase?
Which wordpress.COM site did you purchase it for?I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

Hi @onpamperedwings, it is usually possible to purchase it again elsewhere, but there is a 5 day “reprocessing” period before it is up for sale again, which I am not able to get around.
Were you wanting to register it again here on another site, or buy it elsewhere? If on a site here, we can probably do that from looking at things.

Hi there,
As @thesacredpath already said, since you canceled your domain on June 9th it will be available again for registration after 5 days (around June 14th). There’s nothing we can do about that right now, so please be patient.
