It has to go through a process before it becomes available again.

Please elaborate further.

What error(s) are you experiencing when trying to use the given domain name? When you mention "cancelled", I assume you've disassociated It from your Forumotion address of lownslowuk.forumotion.co.uk. Would this be correct?
The moment you delete the CNAME & Arecord (If applicable) via your Domain registrar, the domain name becomes available again for use.

DNS updates globally and can take up to 24 hours. Releasing the domain name back on sale can take up to 5 days. Like @SLGray said, it has to go through a whole process.

Using whois.net I found the following information. It holds the registrar (Godaddy.com) and expiration date among some other stuff.

If you want it back earlier you could try and contact Buttercup about it, but I'm not sure she can do anything for you as it's all bound to international rules and regulations.

I meant exactly that, to have it back as the domain name owner. Wink

Probably it'll come down to this, that you need to try to purchase it from Godaddy around the expiration date, but I'm not sure if there's another way to release it prematurely, so that's why you should ask Buttercup.

Hello

Samantha is true. The date indicated on the Whois information is the expiration date. Once you reach this date the domain name will become public. Be aware the domain won't be available on 4/22/2015. You will have to wait a little bit more to re-buy the domain.

We cannot do more for the domain!

Thanks for your understanding :rose:
