  Hello, I have a question that I really need help with. I had purchased a domain in 2021, but didn’t renew the purchase in 2022 because I never used the site and now I would love to recover the domain, but seems almost impossible to do so. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there!

  It appears the domain was removed from our end after it expired. As of now, it’s available for registration as a new domain. :)

  I see you previously had the WordPress.com Business plan on your site. Would you like to upgrade to the same plan? If yes, you can do so below:

  After upgrading to a yearly WordPress.com plan, you will get a free domain credit for the first year. You can use that to register the domain again by following these instructions:

  Every WordPress.com site comes with a free .wordpress.com address, for example: yourgroovysite.wordpress.com. You may want to customize your site address, essentially removing the “wordpress.com” part of the site address, for example, yourgroovydomain.com.
