unpacking domain name
-
Hi!
I am aware that cancelling my domain name may have jeopardized my ability to regain it back. However, i was wondering how long I will be able to buy it back? im hoping to use it on wordpress.org with Bluehost rather wordpress.com. I came across a note on Bluehost and it stated that ‘You will need to wait 60 days before trying to transfer. Some registrars allow deleting the domain within 5 days of signup. If the losing registrar supports this, you may be able to delete the domain and signup for the domain here immediately. Check with the losing registrar (Automattic Inc.) for details.’ is there a way to know if Automattic will let me signup for the domain since i deleted within five days of purchase?
Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi theogfashionista,
i was wondering how long I will be able to buy it back?
As the domain was cancelled so quickly, it should be released around 5 days after the cancellation date.
The other option is for me to restore the domain and then you transfer it after 60 days. This 60 day lock is required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and cannot be waived. In the meantime, the name servers can be pointed towards your new site.
The domain costs haven’t been refunded yet so there wouldn’t be any extra cost for me to restore it.
Which option would you prefer?

Under my BlueHost account, I have claimed theogfashionista.com i just need to transfer it. However, I want to get it as soon as possible so If the domain is released within 5 days and I purchase it/reclaim it, would it go through wordpress.com or would it sync to bluehost/wordpress.org?

Hi theogfashionista,
I just checked the status of the domain and it was released shortly after I replied. theogfashionista.com is now registered through FastDomain and pointing to Bluehost.
Best of luck with your new site!
