  I would like to see if it’s possible to retrieve a domain name that I accidentally deleted yesterday.

  It looks like you’ve canceled venusatsunrise.com meaning you no longer own it.

  Please let us know which of these options works best for you:

  Wait: You can wait about five days from cancellation for the domain to be released. So long as no one else buys it before you do, you can purchase it again with another provider.

  Repurchase the Domain: We can send an invoice and restore the domain. You’ll be able to point it to a new host as soon as it’s restored, then transfer the registration after 60 days.

  Repurchase a Plan: To host your site here after all, buy a plan, skip the domain option, then update us here.

  Hello,

  Thanks for your answer. I would like to wait it out until the domain is released.

  Hello, I’m sorry for changing my mind, but I’d like to repurchase the domain if possible!! Please let me know if I can do so. Thanks so much.

  I have sent a payment request for the total of $18 to the email address on your account.

  Once the payment is sent, please reply here to let us know, and we will recover the domain.

  Thank you! We were able to recover that for you.

  Since you paid for this manually, we won’t have auto-renew information for next year. I’d recommend one of these options:

  – If you’re going to keep the site / domain here with us, add auto renew info. We try to auto-pay one month prior to expiration, so that you’ll have time to work out any billing issues if needed. And, you’d be more than welcome to add a plan too so we can host and maintain your site for you!

  – If your host accepts incoming transfers and you’d like to move the domain there, wait about 60 days for your new domain lock to expire (60 days from purchase really) and then you can use these steps:

  You’ll just be sure one way or another to keep the domain renewed each year. Cheers!
