  Hi there,

  I no longer want to use WordPress but would like my domain

  Are you planning to create a site somewhere else other than WordPress.com?

  lotusheartsclub.com expired on 2016-12-14 and is currently in the redemption period.

  There is more information about expired domains here:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  The good news is that you can still try to recover your domain as it has not yet been deleted, purchased by someone else at auction or sold on back-order. A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular domain renewal cost of $18.

  If you agree to these costs I can generate a payment request for the amount. Once that has been paid, we can start the process of trying to get your domain back. Should the recovery fail after you’ve paid the redemption fee, that fee is refunded in full.

  If you do not want to pay the fee, you can wait until the domain is released but you may not be able to get it back if it is purchased at auction during this time.

  Acting quickly is important if you do want to try and recover the domain, so please let me know what you would like to do as soon as you can.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  How long do I have to wait. I would prefer to use blogger. I tried merging all my account information from blogger to WordPress and I didn’t not like the layout or the overall navigation. So I paid 90 dollars for a service I didn’t like and don’t want to renew. I want to keep my tiny blog simple. And but the domain through google. I just want to know how long that will take. I’m not going to pay 90$

  Hi,

  An expired domain passes through several phases before being released into the pool of available domains (providing it isn’t auctioned or put on back order). Domains usually become available again after about 90 days — although this isn’t an exact timeframe and it can take longer. This guide explains the phases of domain expiration:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  Your domain expired 51 days ago now, so based on the information above, you are looking at another 30 days.

  The best advice I can give it is to keep checking to see if the domain has become available again.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
