  Hi there!

  Sometimes it’s possible to manually renew it from your dashboard going to Upgrades → Domains
  Most of the time, support will help you get it back, so I’m tagging staff to help you.

  Keep in mind that getting a domain back after it expires gets increasingly difficult (and more expensive) to renew, depending on how long ago it expired.
  You can read what happens after it expiration following this link (https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#what-happens-when-my-domain-expires) in that way you’ll know what to expect.

  Good luck!

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of toddedwardstennis.com?

  That domain expired on 31 January and has already been removed from our system. It is currently in redemption with our registrar.

  It is still possible for me to recover the domain at this point, but our registrar charges a $80 fee to restore a domain from redemption, on top of the regular renewal fee. Let me know if you agree to that fee and I can get the recovery process started.
