Since you canceled the domain, it may take some time for the domain registrar to make the domain available (as it's currently out of our hands).

Alternatively, would you like to pay the domain registration fee so we can contact our domain registrar to try and reactivate the domain to your WordPress.com account? I can't make any promises, but it's worth a try!

(If so, I can send a money request for $18 to the email address on your account.)

I realize you'll need to point it to Bluehost, and you can do that by updating the nameservers if we can reactivate the domain.

Your safest and easiest is to have the staff cancel most of the bundle and keep the registration here -

Because I am planning on using a theme that requires wordpress.net, I cancelled my bundle and have been attempting to repurchase the .com address but am unable to on Blue Host as well as WordPress.

I will be running hosting through Blue Host and would like both on it, but am looking for some support as to how I may be able to purchase this domain name again.

Thanks for the help!
