  I registered a domain with WordPress and upgraded to premium yesterday. I canceled after I realized that I need to be self hosting to do what I want to do and I want to use bluehost. Now I’m reading they may never release the domain?! What is this, the stone ages? Can I undo the cancellation? What can be done?

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

  Hi there,

  If you cancel a newly registered domain, it’s usually released in about 1-2 weeks. Once it’s released, it becomes available for anyone to register it again.

  If you prefer, you can pay to register the domain here at WordPress.com and then point the domain to Bluehost to use it with a site there. If you’d like to go that route, I can contact our domain registrar to recover that domain for you before it’s fully cancelled and released — I’m sending you an email with the details for how we can do that.
