Restoring Expired Domain Name

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. I am a new wordpress user and was having technical difficulties with my account. So, I deleted my plan and domain name in hopes of fixing the issue — and I did! Now, I’d like to resotre my domain name, kaliarichardson.com, so I can get my site up and running! If anyone form wordpress support can help, that would be very appreciated. Thank you!

  • Hi,

    Are you looking to repurchase the Personal plan that you had previously? You will likely want to do so if you are going to use a custom domain on WordPress.com.

    Let us know and we can help you get this sorted out!

    HI @staff-ozmodiar. Yes, I will purchase the personal plan again and I’m trying to get my domain name back. This is the error I keep getting when I try to select my kaliarichardson.com name for the first year. Is there anyway you can retrieve it?

    Hi there!

    Sure thing, we can take a look into this for you. From what I can see here, the domain kaliarichardson.com was cancelled alongside your plan a few days ago.

    We usually recommend not cancelling a domain registration if you’d like to use that domain again, as once it’s cancelled, it can be very difficult to get back.

    Since it’s only been a few days, what you can do is go ahead and purchase the Personal plan as you normally would, without adding or connecting a domain. Let us know once you’ve done so, and we can then restore the domain registration for kaliarichardson.com on our side, and connect it to your Personal plan so it’s free for the first year.

    We’ll look out for your message, and if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

    Hi @geekinthegirl! I just purchased the personal plan, without the domain name. So, if you could restore the domain name, kaliarichardson.com, that would be terrific. Sorry for the complication and canceling the domain. Thank you for your help.

  • Hey there,

    Many thanks for that confirmation!

    We’ve restored that domain for you and set it as the primary custom domain: kaliarichardson.com

    Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

    Hi @aleone89! I just tried to find it and it said it’s with another wordpress site. Are you sure it was restored to my site? My wordpress url is currently kaliaiman.wordpress.com. Thanks!
