Domain renewal

  • Unknown's avatar

    Renew my domain registration. I registered my domain via WordPress. My site is hosted on GoDaddy. One year expired a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to renew during the grace period. However, when I log in and attempt to Manage Purchases, it says my domain registration never expires ‘with a plan.’ My plan is with GoDaddy, not WordPress.

    HOW DO I RE-ACTIVATE MY DOMAIN WITH WORDPRESS AFTER A BRIEF EXPIRATION? Nothing in my Manage Purchases window allows me to initiate a Live Chat, make a ‘purchase’ of my reactivation/renewal, or otherwise move forward.

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

    Hello,

    Can you please share the domain name that you are referring to?

  • Hey there,

    I checked with our registrar and flowerfarmevents.com is now in a redemption period. You can still renew your domain through us, but it is now a more expensive and complicated process to do so. Our registrar charges an $80 late renewal fee in addition to the $26 we charge to renew the domain. The good news is that this is still a chance of reclaiming the domain through this option.

    Your other option is to wait until the redemption period is over so that the domain becomes available for registration again. Domains are usually in redemption for approximately 80 days, but with this option, you run
    the risk of someone else jumping in front of you to purchase the domain before you get the chance.

    Please let me know if you want to proceed with paying the late renewal fee in the attempt to reclaim the domain name. This option is also time sensitive because the domain can be auctioned off to an expired domain bidder.

    I would suggest enabling the auto-renew option so that you will not have to worry about losing control over your domain in the future.

    Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
