  I would like to get my domain back. I cancelled it because I was trying to transfer it to another registrar. After some long researching, I found out that I can’t transfer it because I don’t have that type of access. So I would like to just get my domain back for now. The domain is: brookelingard.com
  Thanks

  sometimes the staff can retrieve a domain name from the trash – sometimes not – you might need to wait for it to maybe become available (a registrar is not required to release a canceled domain name- they can auction it if they want – sell it to someone else – sell it to a squatter who will hold it hostage)

  I have flagged this for the staff to help

  I can try and reverse the cancellation. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.

  If successful, you will need to re-purchase the yearly domain registration. Then you will be able to use the domain here on WordPress.com or point your domain to a new webhost using these instructions:
