release domain name

  • Unknown's avatar

    I started a website here including purchasing a domain name. I quickly realized (the same day) that I did not like the website building platform and wanted out. I canceled the domain and requested a refund for what I had spent. Refund was processed, but domain name is now parked. And I am on a new website builder and want the domain name over there, but it keeps saying it’s taken. How do I release it so I can get it set up on my other site?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

  • Hi there,

    I’ve checked the status of your domain name, and it appears to be available again. As you’ve canceled your subscription with us, the domain has been released and is no longer parked with WordPress.com.

    You can now proceed to register the domain name through your new provider. They should be able to guide you through the process of securing it on their platform.

    While we are here to support your decision and facilitate a smooth transition, we’re also continually striving to improve our services and customer satisfaction. If you could take a moment to let us know why you decided to move from our platform, we would really appreciate it. Your feedback would provide valuable insights into how we can enhance our user experience in the future.

    Please feel free to reach out to us if you encounter any issues or if there’s anything else you need help with. We’re here to help.
