  I registered and then canceled a domain name, and want to get it back. I’ve contacted the parent registrar and they’ve redirected me to WordPress. Please help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, I’ve reached out to our registrar to see if your domain can be restored (when you cancel a domain, there is no guarantee that it will become available again). I will update you once I hear back from them.

  Thanks so much for your reply! Was able to re-register the domain with godaddy.com yesterday.

  OK, good to hear you were able to re-register your domain. If you want to map it to your WordPress.com blog, you can do it following these steps: Map an Existing Domain.
