Domain Expired
-
I’m trying to retrieve an expired domain. I don’t see an option here on word press where I can renew my site. I’m worried that too much time has lapsed and I missed the opportunity to renew the website

Aloha doublescoop2, Is http://thedoublescoop2.com/ the domain you are trying to renew? If so, it looks like your site is in its redemption period.
After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period, the length of which can vary. This means the domain name can still be renewed, but there is an $80.00 redemption fee required in addition to the normal renewal cost. (This is standard practice for domain registrars.)
It’s important to note that during the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name. If the domain is claimed by someone else in an auction, you will not be able to renew. If you made a payment in attempt to reclaim the domain out of redemption and were unsuccessful, you will get a refund.
You will need to verify your domain and that you accept the $80 fee.

Hi there,
thedoublescoop2.com expired on 2016-12-12 and is currently in the redemption period.
There is more information about expired domains here:
The good news is that you can still try to recover your domain as it has not yet been deleted or 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 and the private registration fee of $8 (if you want to keep this).
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.

Hi there,
I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore thedoublescoop2.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!

Hi!
I wanted to let you know that we heard back from our registrar, and thedoublescoop2.com is still available to redeem.
I’ve emailed you with more details and the manual payment link, so we can get that restored to your account.Thanks!
