  I used to have the domain — http://www.reedpankratz.com — and it was registered through WordPress. Unfortunately I forgot to renew it and I don’t know how to get it back. I still have http://www.prpankratz.wordpress.com — Is there a way for me to get http://www.reedpankratz.com back so that I can edit it?

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

  @prpankratz

  Unfortunately, we no longer control the domain reedpankratz.com and cannot renew it for you. All of your content is still available through this URL:

  http://prpankratz.wordpress.com/

  I’ve removed your Domain Mapping Upgrade and refunded the associated charge. Please keep in mind that it takes 1-2 weeks for the transaction to show up on your financial statement.

  We attempted to inform you of your domain’s expiration (via email and dashboard notices). It was possible to recover the domain for some weeks after its expiration, but because of the time lapsed, the domain was sent back to the registrar, who then sold it to a new owner. This support article describes the expiration process in detail, if you are interested:

  Domain Expiration

  Here is the publicly available contact information of the new domain owner:

  

  http://who.is/whois/reedpankratz.com

  You could try contacting them to see if they will sell the domain to you. Please be sure to use a reputable online purchasing site for this transaction, if it happens.

  Also, the following alternate domains are available:

  reedpankratz.net

  reedpankratz.org

  You can add a new custom domain to your site here:
