  Ahhh! I want to register ‘kristinalankowphotography’ on blue host and then install WordPress through Blue Host. I registered a domain through WordPress…then I canceled it. I’m concerned that I won’t be able to register it through Blue Host. I was concerned about being charged a fee. Please assist ASAP. I need to get the domain registered on Blue Host.

  Hi Kristina,

  I’ve put ‘modlook’ tag so the staff can take a look into detail of your domain cancellation and refund. Please subscribe to this thread by clicking ‘subscribe to topic’ on the sidebar to get email notification once the staff reply.

  Thank you! I’ve been reading some other support posts and it looks like some others have accidentally done this too. I was eager to kick off my website and want to use Blur Host. I definitely want to use the domain “kristinalankowphotography”.

  Here is a thread I was reading :) >> https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/i-accidentally-cancelled-my-domain-today-can-i-reinstate-it?replies=14

  I am planning to use Blue Host and then install Word Press. I am new to site building and appreciate your assistance!!

  I can try and reverse the cancellation. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.

  If successful, you will need to re-purchase the yearly domain registration. Then you will be able to use the domain here on WordPress.com or point your domain to a new webhost using these instructions:

  I will try to reverse the cancellation. If it is successful, you will need to pay for the registration again (since your previous purchase was refunded) and then you can point the domain to Bluehost using the instructions at the link I posted above.

  If it is not successful, you will need to wait until the registrar releases the domain to be registered again.
