  My vanity URL has expired, I understand that, and I don’t wish to have it back. However I can’t see my new (yet un)published blog. All I can see is the error message. I have selected “cancel” three time and still get the message. Must I keep my Vanity URL to keep posting on this blog? Can I not go back to the old URL?

  Please advise…

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

  Hi there!

  Sorry about that! This is a known issue that our developers are working on fixing.

  I can go ahead and cancel your domain for you though!

  I’d just like to confirm that you’re attempting to cancel the domain mitchellmobius.com. You should be aware that canceling a domain means you completely give up ownership of the domain. There is no guarantee the domain will become available to re-register after cancellation.

  You are welcome to keep your domain with us and update the name servers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You may also transfer your domain to another registrar by following this guide:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you would like to completely cancel your ownership of the domain name, just reply to confirm. :)

  Thanks. Do I understand my blog will go back to being mitchellmobius.wordpress.com? I do not wish to lose my content or blog… just the URL.
