  Hi @megchildresslcsw,

  You can renew your domain by going to the Manage Purchases section in your account settings.

  In regards to domain expiration, I recommend reading the following support documentation.

  For most TLDs registered through WordPress.com, an expired domain falls into a grace period for about 10 days to two weeks. During this short window, the domain can be renewed at the regular price.

  After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period, the length of which can vary. This means the domain name can still be renewed, but there is an $80.00 redemption fee required in addition to the normal renewal cost. (This is standard practice for domain registrars.)
