  I have added a tag “modlook” to this topic. One of the members from the WordPress.com staff/WordPress.com Happiness Engineers should be able to help you with this.

  Hi marytenslow,

  marytenslow.com expired on 18th November 2017, which is why you are no longer able to renew it from your account. This domain is currently in the redemption period:

  Domain Expiration

  At this stage, we can still try to recover marytenslow.com but an $80 redemption fee will be added to the domain cost. If you agree, I can send a payment request and contact our domain registrar once it has been paid.

  If you don’t want to pay the redemption fee, the other option is to wait until marytenslow.com is released. However, this process can take 80 days or more and there is no guarantee you will be the first to register it again — domains are released on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

  Please let me know which option you would prefer and if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
