  Hi,
  my domain expired 5 months ago. I get a link to renew it now, but no options on how to renew or pay for it. if I click on My Site -> Domain, I see my domain listed and the option to renew, but then it just shows when it expired and keeps prompting me to renew it. Don’t seem to be able to reach a payment page. Please help? Thanks!

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

  You will have to purchase it again, if it is available. Please read:

  It looks like hungrylarder.com. – has been bought by a squatter and is being held hostage and is for sale by them

  If you do decide to buy the name from the squatter make sure you use a reputable escrow agent to make sure you get what you pay for

  Great advice, as always. Thanks for wading in here.

  thanks for the great advice. I won’t buy the domain back. How do I remove the domain name from my account? it says ‘contact support’ to remove it, but I don’t see how. (it’s probably right under my nose)
  Many thanks
