  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore whatsanedj.com to your account, but I cannot guarantee that we will be able to get the domain back. If I am successful, I can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  I will let you know once I hear back from the registrar.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hey there,

  The registry notified me that whatsanedj.com is in redemption.

  Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 80 days. During this time, your domain may be put up for auction or sold on back-order.

  You can learn more about domain expiration here:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  The good news is that we may still be able to recover your domain if it has not yet been deleted or purchased by someone else.

  A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by the domain registry and is not one that we can waive.

  The total price will be $106, which is $26 for the regular renewal, plus the $80 late renewal fee.

  If we are unable to recover your domain, your payment will be refunded. If you do not wish to pay the $80 fee, you may let the domain expiration process continue and attempt to register the domain again at the regular price, once it has completely expired.

  Please note that someone else may purchase the domain first, in which case you will be unable to register it again, but if you prefer this option, just let us know and we’ll be happy to provide you further instructions.

  Let me know if you are interested in paying the redemption price and I will send you a manual payment.

  Thank you!
