Domain has expired
-
My domain has been purchased through Wild West Domains and I host through Bluehost. Both tell me I need to contact WordPress for help, however I can’t find how to contact them anywhere. How can I renew my domain?

What is the URL?
When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond.

Allowing a domain to expire
When you allow your domain expire, it then goes through a process that can take several months to complete described at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.If you are in the grace period you will not have to agree to pay a redemption fee set by the domain name registrar that wordpress.COM staff cannot waive.
Otherwise, if you want Staff to try to recover the domain for you then you will have to agree to pay the redemption fee.
This thread is tagged this thread in the sidebar with modlook for Staff attention.
If you’re logged into the account that is associated with your expired domain, they will look up its status and get in touch with details.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into the associated account, and provide the domain URL here.

Several months? does that mean my website will not be seen for a few months??
This is quite frustrating as I didn’t even receive an email from WordPress saying that my domain was going to expire. Can someone help me recover my domain and let me know specifics of what I need to do?
The domain is emmyjoystudio.com.

Hey there,
I checked with our registrar and as @Timethief mentioned, emmyjoystudio.com is now in a redemption period. You can still renew your domain through us, but it is now a more expensive and complicated process to do so. Our registrar charges an $80 late renewal fee in addition to the $26 we charge to renew the domain. The good news is that this is still a chance of reclaiming the domain through this option.
Your other option is to wait until the redemption period is over so that the domain becomes available for registration again. Domains are usually in redemption for approximately 80 days, but with this option, you run
the risk of someone else jumping in front of you to purchase the domain before you get the chance.Please let me know if you want to proceed with paying the late renewal fee in the attempt to reclaim the domain name. This option is also time sensitive because the domain can be auctioned off to an expired domain bidder.
I would suggest enabling the auto-renew option so that you will not have to worry about losing control over your domain in the future.
Please visit the support page link for further instructions:
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Thank you for getting back to me! i would love to just go ahead and reclaim my domain. How can I move forward in that process?

Hi guys! Im having the same problem. My domain has expired. I don’t mind paying as long as it can be recovered. Can someone help me please? I have account and PIN number if you need.
I contacted Wild West and they said that because is has been expired for long, I need to contact you.

@timethief I am sorry, Ive realised this after posting my question! I have already started a new thread. Sorry for the inconvinience caused
-
Thanks for getting back to me.
staff-doublebassd did answer me but he said to let him know if I’d like to proceed with paying the late renewal fee. I went to the link he mentioned, which lead me to the manage purchases page, however when I arrive there it is showing that I haven’t made any purchase.
Please let me know what the next step of action would be to get my domain back!

Please wait patiently for Darnell to get back to you. Staff follow up all threads they post into until they are resolved.
-
Okay thank you. Is there a timeframe in which he will reply? I’d like to resolve this ASAP.

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