  Hi @missnjus2015, sorry to hear that! Checking your domain it looks the domain is not expired

  Update Date: 2017-02-19
  Creation Date: 2016-02-18
  Expiration Date: 2018-02-18

  So I’m pretty sure a Happiness Engineer will be able to help you and revert your domain cancellation. I added the modlook tag to this thread and as soon as possible you will be assisted in this matter. Have a great day!

  Hello,

  sameerakhan.net expired on 2017-02-18. In order to try and recover the domain I will need to send a payment request for the domain cost ($18).

  If the domain goes into redemption during the process, you will need to pay an $80 redemption fee in addition to the domain cost.

  There is more information about expired domains in this support document:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.

  Please let me know if you agree to the domain costs. If you do, I’ll get the process started.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.

  Hello,

  You’re welcome! I’ve sent a payment request to the email address on your WordPress.com account.

  Once we’ve received payment I’ll contact our domain registrar.

  Thanks!
