  I received an email from wordpress.com saying that my domain thedisneydetails.com was going to be auto-renewed on Sept. 2nd and that no action was needed on my part. It’s now the 22nd and I don’t see any charges on my account from wordpress for the amount listed. Also when I look at my domain it says “never expires” which confuses me since I’m on the free plan. I have no option to “edit” my domain either.

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

  The underlying .wordpress.com URL that you are domain mapping from to the domain URL never expires.

  thedisneydetails.com is hosted by Unified Layer, not by wordpress.COM
  You purchased that domain through wordpress.COM WHOIS: Click Here and can see the expiry date when you click the WHOIS link
  IP Address: 66.147.244.179
  Name Servers:
  ns2.bluehost.com
  ns1.bluehost.com

  In this case you purchase a domain through wordpress.COM and applied it to an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL at https://thedisneydetails.wordpress.com/ that you later moved to a self hosted site. The domain URL purchase has to be renewed annually.

  Thank you TimeThief. Obviously I have no idea what I’m doing. :)

  What is the next step I should take to make sure my domain doesn’t expire in a few days? I don’t see a way to renew on the wordpress.com site.

  I have included “modlook” in the tags of this thread.
