Domain name in redemption period – need help from WordPress to recover

    Hello, the domain name riafinancialblog.com is now in a redemption period (I was not the one in charge of renewing this). I have checked my colleagues’ billing history by logging in to his account and there is nothing which shows the recent renewal of this domain, only that he paid for ‘domain mapping’. This was purchased through wordpress.com (Wild West Domains have confirmed this).

    If someone from WordPress can please help me to restore this I would be grateful. I have some other info from another thread which I am pasting here… I would like option 1.

    If you’d like to renew your ownership of this domain, you have several options:

    1) We can renew the domain for you through our registrar. This costs $97, which includes $17 for the domain and an additional cost of $80 for a late renewal. We have no control over this additional cost, as it is levied on us by our domain registrar.

    2) Try to register the domain through a domain back-ordering service, such as Pool (Registering starts at $60 with Pool) http://pool.com/

    3) Wait until the domain is out of redemption and becomes available for registration again. Then, you can register it again for the regular price of $17. This would run the risk of the domain being registered by someone else before you, or the domain not being released for registration at all. The exact redemption period and the release of the domain are at the discretion of our domain registrar and we can’t control it.

    If you want to have the best chance of getting your domain back, your best bet would be the first option. If you choose this option, please reply to this thread letting us know. We will then send you a request for payment via PayPal and will contact our registrar on your behalf, asking to restore the domain.

    Please note that time is of the essence here. Because your domain is very close to being cancelled, it may no longer be possible to recover it. If you pay for renewal and we are unable to recover the domain, you will be fully refunded.

    Howdy!

    Thanks for getting in touch. I’m happy to help you through the redemption process.

    The domain, riafinancialblog.com, can only be restored to the original owners account.

    I’ve sent an email to the address associated with that account outlining the redemption process.
