  my domain name was changed to https://ubeyoucom.wordpress.com. I Need to get my Domain name back UBeYOU.com. It must have happened recently so no one has been able to find my website!!!!! I don’t know how this could have happened?!?!?! I kept paying the premium and are now paid up to 2024 assuming Hosting and Domain are all in one package since I transferred my website and domain name all to WP in 2019 and got confirmation that ubeyou.com was successfully transferred. I have had this domain name for years. It has to be retrieved. Please help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @ramonakav,

  It looks like the ubeyou.com domain is no longer registered with WordPress.com: https://gwhois.org/ubeyou.com+dns

  What likely happened here is that you allowed your domain to expire, which has now been registered elsewhere. When a domain expires, anyone is able to register it and it could unfortunately be permanently lost to you.

  Please keep in mind, plans and domain renew separately. If you renewed your plan, this doesn’t mean that your domain was also renewed. You would have received notification of its upcoming renewal.

  In this case, you can try to repurchase your domain from the reseller, or register a new, similar domain by going to Upgrades → Domains.

  I hope that helps and please reach out again if you have any further questions.
