Domain Name Taken
-
I have held my domain for nearly 10 years. After having to take a break to revamp my site, I noticed that the domain did not renew and now some other company has my domain. How did this happen? I renew every single year. Please tell me my domain has not been stolen.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You lost your domain because you didn’t renew it. Once a domain becomes available, everyone can buy it.
-
What is the URL of the domain you refer to?
Unless or until you post it here no one can even begin to investigate and help.

Are you WordPress folks? I am not asking just any person to “investigate” it, I am asking WordPress to look at my renewal and get me domain back.

Hi there,
Are you speaking of the domain, frederickfoxtrott.com?
The last payment for that domain was made on 4 January 2016. You’ll see a receipt for that payment in your billing history:
https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/billing/
We sent you the first notification that the domain was expiring on 4 October 2016, with several more reminders sent after that.
However, there was no renewal payment for the domain in 2017, so the domain expired on 3 January and was removed from our system in the middle of February. It was subsequently released by our registrar and purchased by someone else on 26 March, according to the Whois records.
Someone else now owns the domain and there is no way for us to get it back. If you want, you can try contacting the current owner directly and attempt to purchase the domain back from them, but we cannot assist in a private domain purchase like that.
