  Hello,

  I am trying to trying to switch services that host my domain for my site. I just cancelled the domain from WordPress; however, now it is listed as taken by the other service I hope to have the domain provided by. In addition, when I visit the domain, it says it is parked free by WordPress. When I look to see if it is available to repurchase through WordPress, it says it is not available. Is there a way I can reobtain my domain?

  Thank you.

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

  Hi –

  Did you purchase a custom domain? Or is it just the free one listed that you need assistance with?

  Hello,

  It was a custom domain.

  Can you confirm the domain name? oxfordbiosoc.org, which I see on the oxbiosoc.wordpress.com account, had the mapping to the site deactivated 2 years ago and from what I can see in our logs, was never registered here at WordPress.com.

  Can you confirm the custom domain name you are talking about?

  Hi there,

  I have located the domain, as registered at WordPress.com and messaged the owner privately via email how to restore the domain.

  Once we hear back we’ll be able to restore the domain.
