  Expired means over, dead, done and finished. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/ We focus on not allowing domains to expire so others can purchase them when they are auctioned off and that’s why we have an auto renew feature. https://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-purchases/#auto-renew
  Staff need details to recover the domain.

  I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Also subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hi there,

  The domain recoveryisprogress.com was previously mapped to your WordPress.com site — you then cancelled domain mapping in December 2016.

  If you still own the domain you can ‘map’ it to your WordPress.com site with Domain Mapping:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan, such as the Personal plan. Each paid plan includes a free domain credit which you can use to map a domain you already own (or register a new one).

  As there is currently no domain mapped to your site, you are using your default WordPress.com address (recoveryisprogress.wordpress.com).

  Let me know if you have any questions!
