  Hello,
  The organization that controls domain names, ICANN, requires a 60-day wait before transferring a domain to another registrar. After 60 days have passed, follow the steps in this guide to transfer your domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/

  In the meantime, you can still use your domain with another host by changing the domain’s name servers. Here’s how to do that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-name-servers/

  Hi there!

  It looks like you cancelled your domain so I’ve just sent an email to our domain registrar to try to get it back. I’m confident we can get it back for you.

  I’ve added it back to your account for now and you can change the name servers to point it to your self-hosted site. After 60 days you’ll be able to transfer it to a different registrar.

  Here are the instructions for changing your name servers:
