  Hello safetyfirstswimming,

  What is the URL of the site? A member of staff can still help you to renew your domain, but there is a redemption fee of $80 (required by the domain registry) in addition to the normal renewal cost. Note that during this phase your domain could be included in expired-domain auctions, so there is no guarantee that your domain will still be available. For more information please visit this link:

  Please let us know what action you would like the member of Staff to take.

  Hi –

  I can help you with this process. I’ve verified that safetyfirstswimming.com is in redemption. Before we go forward with the redemption process I need to confirm that you’ll agree to the $80 redemption payment.

  This fee is assessed by our domain partner and is not ours. It is in addition to the annual registration cost of $26 that is billed by us.

  Once I hear back I’ll be in touch with our domain partner to get things started. Typically this whole process only takes 2-3 days.
