  Expired means what is says – over, dead, done, complete and that’s why we renew prior to expiration. Keep in mind that once your domain expires, it can be unavailable for up to 90 days. Once it goes back on the market, anyone can register it. You should never allow a domain to expire unless you are fully done with it and never want to use it again. Please see https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  If the domain is still available you can purchase it again. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  Hi there,

  I’ve contacted wild west domains, and they asked me to contact wordpress.com about renewing my domain name.

  There is no option on my account to renew any longer.

  I have purchased mapping, but that doesn’t help me as I don’t have control over the domain nameservers.

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore evalouisewilliams.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!
