Domain Error

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am getting this error ‘Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.’ my host company says that they can’t help me fix this and that I have to go through you. I am not sure what to do to get my blog functional again.

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

  • Hi there,

    Is this for the domain, strahbarysfields.com?

    That domain expired on 8 May and has since been cancelled and removed from your account as you did not pay to renew it.

    I might still be able to get it back from our registrar for you, but there is an $80 fee to recover an expired domain on top of the regular renewal cost. If you agree to that fee I can send you an email with the next steps to get the recovery started.

    You can also try to wait it out until our registrar releases the domain, but that will be a couple of months at least, and they might sell it at private auction before then, in which case you’ll lose it permanently.

    Let me know how you would like to proceed.

    Is it possible to revert it back to a wordpress.Com site?

  • Your WordPress.com site still exists at https://strahbarysfields.wordpress.com/, but it looks like you were using that domain with a self-hosted site connected via Jetpack.

    That domain was connected to a Hostgator site before it expired, so all your site’s content is with them. To move that site to WordPress.com you’ll first need to export your content from Hostgator, and you might not be able to do that without a domain attached to the site.

    Please contact Hostgator and ask if it’s possible to to still create an XML export of your site with them. If they can move your site with them to a staging URL you should be able to, though we won’t be able to import any media files from that site, only text content. To import media files the site has to be online, which is only possible if we can restore your domain.
