Domain name
-
Hello, I had the domain registered for my site but I forgot to renew it. Is it possible for me to get this domain back again. It seems to me that it might be in redemption, but I am not sure what that means or how/if I can get it back? Many thanks Liz

Hi there!
Once your domain expires, it goes through a series of steps.
1-Grace Period: most WordPress.com expired domains falls into a grace period of about ten days to two weeks. During this short window, the domain can be renewed at the regular price.
2-Redemption Period: 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.
Depending on the type of domain and when it was registered you might be able to redeem it yourself. If your domain has that option it will still appear under your account Purchases after it enters redemption, and clicking the Renew Now button will cause the redemption fee of $80 to be added to the cart automatically.
If your domain does not offer the option to redeem it yourself it will be removed from your account when it enters the Redemption Period. In that case, we have to wait for someone from the support staff to help.
3-Domain Released: if a domain is not redeemed by the original registrant, the domain is usually then returned to the pool of available domain names and can be registered again on a first-come, first served basis. This means that even if your domain is released, another party can purchase it before you get the chance.

Hi there,
I assume you’re referring to the domain onelittlewheel.com, correct?
I’ve checked and the domain is no longer registered with us. During the redemption period, the domain still remains registered with us, allowing us the ability to restore it on your behalf. However, this domain appears to have expired a long time ago. It has already been removed from our side.
If you look at the domain’s WHOIS information here: https://www.whois.com/whois/onelittlewheel.com – you’ll see that
Alibaba Cloud Computing...is now listed as the registrar of this domain. You may try contacting the current registrar of the domain to see about purchasing it from them, but we aren’t able to help in this process as the domain is no longer registered with us.Regards
