  Hey,
  I purchased a plan + domain yesterday but canceled it immediately after as it didn’t match my needs.

  The domain I chose for some reason is still taken. Can you please release it so I can use it?

  Thanks,
  Shir

  The site I need help with is shirsemiat.wordpress.com.

  Hi there,

  Do you still want the domain for your site here on WordPress.com, or do you plan on using it somewhere else?

  If you want to use it here, I can send you a link to pay for the domain only and then restore it. But keep in mind in that case it will only redirect to your free WordPress.com address. To actually have the domain be what people see when they view your site, you will need a plan.

  If you want to use it somewhere else and willing to wait a few days, the domain should become available again by early next week, at which point you can register it directly at the provider where you want to use it. If you prefer not to wait we can still restore it manually as above as well, and then help you point it to the other provider.

  Let me know what you’d prefer.
