  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, we no longer control your domain and cannot renew it for you. All of your content is still available through this URL: lifeofanewwifedotcom.WordPress.com

  I removed the expired domain upgrade from your account to avoid further confusion.

  We attempted to inform your domain’s expiration (via email and dashboard notices). It was possible to recover the domain for some weeks after its expiration, but because of the time lapsed, the domain was sent back to the registrar who then sold it to a new owner. This support article describes the expiration process in detail, if you are interested:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  Here is the publicly available contact information of the new domain owner:

  http://who.wildwestdomains.com/WhoIs.aspx?prog_id=wildwestdomains&domain=lifeofanewwife.com

  You could try contacting them to see if they will sell the domain to you. Please be sure to use a reputable online purchasing site for this transaction, if it happens.

  I am sorry I was not able to help you more in this case.

  Could I purchase a new domain and have all my content transferred over?

  Hi there,

  You can add a new domain without having to transfer your entire site. Please note that a domain exists entirely independent of your site. So, even if you have a domain that has expired you still have all your content. Think of a domain as just a mailing address for your site.

  Therefore, you can still find all your content at lifeofanewwifedotcom.wordpress.com.

  You can find more information about domains here.

  You can add a new custom domain name by going to Store > My Domains in your Dashboard. If you want to create an entirely new site (not using any of the content on lifeofanewwifedotcom.wordpress.com) you can do that by creating a brand new blog and adding a domain to that site.

  Please let me know what you would like and I can help you accordingly.

  Cheers!
