Domain registration did not auto renew as expected.

Hi! My registration for overairproductions.com was set to auto renew, but apparently the payment did not process as expected and the registration expired. I believe I am within the grace period to get the registration back. Please let me know how I can take care of payment. Thanks!

Hi there!
It looks like the domain expired quite a while ago, and as a result, it’s currently in the process of being removed from our registry. The status is pendingDelete, and at this stage, the domain can no longer be renewed.
The good news is that the domain will become available (usually in about a week) for registration as a new domain. Please try the steps below to register it as a new domain. If you see that it’s not available yet, you’ll want to keep trying repeatedly until it’s available and can be registered again.
On WordPress.com, you can register a domain (for example, yourgroovydomain.com) to use instead of your site’s default address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

Got it! Thanks very much for the reply. Just happy to know the status of the domain and that I should have no issue getting it back. I will re-register! Thanks!
While we’re on this thread and I’m renewing my Domain anyway – do you guys still recommend Bluehost for hosting? I’ve been with them since I launched the site, but I see that WordPress offers hosting as well. I know Bluehost has been recommended by WordPress previously. Would there be any advantage to switching and having hosting and domain registration both with WordPress?
