Hi @konnikim,

I double checked on whoishostingthis.com and according to https://www.whoishostingthis.com/#search=konnikim.com your site is not hosted on WordPress.com (Automattic) but on GoDaddy. Unfortunately staff are unable to help in this case.

If you use the open-source WordPress software, you’ll need to go to their forum to get help: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read the support post:
https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

You may also be able to get support by going to https://godaddy.com/help.

Sorry we couldn’t be more helpful.

Hi there, The WHOIS record on whoishostingthis.com is not displaying the Domain Registrar, which is the information you need. Here’s the information from the ICANN WHOIS registry

Registrar Information

Name: Wild West Domains, LLC

I flagged this thread for Staff assistance. Thanks for your patience while they get back to you.

Your domain konnikim.com expired on May 17. We sent several email warnings before it expired.

Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 90 days. You can learn more about expired domains here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/

The good news is that we are still able to recover your domain, as it is currently in the Grace period: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#grace-period

You’ll need to pay the regular $18 renewal price before we can recover the domain.

I have sent a payment request for the total of $18 to the email address on your account. Once the payment is sent, please reply here to let us know, and we will send a note to our domain partner regarding konnikim.com. This process only takes about 2-3 days start to finish.

Please hurry though, as will enter the Redemption period next if not renewed soon: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

Hi @konnikim, I have just reached out to our domain’s partner. They usually reply within 48h – we will let you know here once your domain is back on your account.
