What happened to my registered domain name?

    I opted for the wordpress value bundle and registered a domain name. I then decided to cancel my account by clicking on the refund option within the store. I now want to register that domain name, but it says it’s already been registered. This is the whois results:
    Registrar: WILD WEST DOMAINS, INC.
    Whois Server: whois.wildwestdomains.com
    Creation Date: 06-DEC-2011
    Updated Date: 07-DEC-2011
    Expiration Date: 06-DEC-2012

    Nameserver: NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM
    Nameserver: NS2.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM

    Registry Status: clientDeleteProhibited
    Registry Status: clientRenewProhibited
    Registry Status: clientTransferProhibited
    Registry Status: clientUpdateProhibited

    I called wild west domains, but they told me that they don’t have any access to it because it was registered using wordpress?

    Any ideas on how I can get my domain name back?

    Canceled and refunded domains become the property of our registrar partner and are returned to the public market at their discretion. We have no control over this process.

    There are several warning about this during the cancelation process.

    You’ll need to wait for the registrar to release the domain for purchase again, which can take anywhere from 5 to 90 days.
