  Domain expiration is a fairly long process and an expired domain is not automatically available at another registrar:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  Your domain is in the redemption period. It may be able to be renewed, but will incur an $80 late fee. Your other option is to wait out the registration process and hope that it is released into the pool of available domains. This may or may not happen. Expired domains are often lost at auction without ever being made available to the general public again.

  Please let me know what you would like to do.

  Thank you so much for letting me know. Guess I will think on it for a day or so. Is it easy to transfer to weebly as I did that before it’s expriration but it would not show up? Thank you for your help, I am quite lost :-/

  The easiest way to point a WordPress.com registered domain to another webhost is by using these instructions to change the domain’s nameservers:

  Thanks again. Yes, that is exactly what I did and still I couldn’t find it. Lost in cyberspace floating aimlessly! The domain name that is, not me.
