  I can try and recover the domain from redemption. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.

  If successful, you will need to re-purchase the yearly domain registration and pay the $80 late registration fee. Then you will be able to use the domain here on WordPress.com or point your domain to a new webhost using these instructions:
