  I have automatic renewal on my domain name, but I got a bill from Domain Registry Services (for twice what WordPress charges — I love y’all!).

  I just want to make certain the bill is not from you.

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

  Nope, that is not from us. Those are usually companies that scrape whois data for domain registration contact info and try to trick people into transferring their domain registration and paying more.

  WordPress.com domains should always be renewed from the Store–> My Upgrades area in your site’s Dashboard.
