Redeeming an Expired Domain

  • cmanzo31 · Member ·

    My domain (christinamanzo.com) expired. I never received any emails about it, as they went to my work email and our spam filter kept blocking them, but I would like to redeem my domain as quickly as possible. I am willing to pay the $80 fee if someone from WordPress could contact me to facilitate this change. Thank you.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    As i can check the data on https://whois.net/ , The domain christinamanzo.com is registered with Wild West Domains, LLC. The Registry Expiry Date: 2019-05-22 and the Domain Status is : redemptionPeriod. You would have to contact the Domain registrar in this case : https://www.wildwestdomains.com/

    Hope this helps!! :)

    I’ve tagged this for staff to help you recover the domain.


    @smitsahatiya     WordPress.com has used Wild West as a registrar. Members should not be directed to them, as WordPress.com needs to initiate the recovery. Hope that helps!

    Your domain christinamanzo.com expired on May 18. We sent several email warnings both before and shortly after it expired.

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

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

    A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by our domain partner and is not one which we can waive. That’s in addition to your annual domain renewal from us, so the total is going to be $98.

    I have sent a payment request for the total of $98 to the email address on your account. Once the payment is received, we will send a note to our domain partner regarding christinamanzo.com. This process only takes about 2-3 days start to finish.
