  Hi there,

  I wanted to start up my blog again, but when I try to enter the domain name I had for years before I let it expire, it’s saying the doman name is alreasy registered.

  I understand that when I let it expire that someone else could have registered it but
  that doesn’t seem to be the case as when I type in mycerebellarstrokerecovery.com it goes to an error page saying ‘can’t reach this page.’ But WordPress is tellling me that it’s already registered. Can you check on this for me?

  Thanks!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hey there, it looks like the domain has gone through its redemption phase but was not released. We’ll check to see what options are available at this point and update you here.

  Hi again, so this domain expired back in April. It appears to be past redemption. Domains sometimes enter an auction phase after redemption, and that’s the case here. If it doesn’t get bids, it’ll be released, but I can’t say when or whether that would happen. Sorry I don’t have better news on this!
