  I’ve accidentally deleted my domain nicktai.com associated with my WordPress account while requesting a refund, I was wondering if there’s anyway of recovery?

  Hi there,

  Are you considering using your domain again on your WordPress.com site, or do you have plans to use it on a different platform?

  If you’d like to keep it here on WordPress.com, I can restore it at no cost, as you’ve just purchased a plan.

  Now, if you’d rather use it somewhere else and don’t mind waiting a few days, your domain should become available again by early next week. Then, you’ll be able to register it directly with the provider where you want to use it. If you don’t want to wait, I can still restore it manually for you, as mentioned above, and then help you point it to the other provider.

  Just let me know what works best for you.

  will it automatically switch back to nicktai.com on WordPress.com? or will there be steps to recover the original domain?

  yet again, Thank you.

  Hi @nicktai2000, I’ve restored it for you, so it should start working within a few hours.

  will it automatically switch back to nicktai.com on WordPress.com? or will there be steps to recover the original domain?

  We’ve taken care of that for you, so it will just start working again. Let us know if you need more help!
