  Hello lidiaegorova,

  I am afraid you have posted your query in the wrong forum for WordPress. I suggest you browse the wordpress.org section.

  Here’s the link: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Also, for your better understanding of the two types of WordPress platforms, I suggest you visit this link:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Regards,
  Rahul

  I am also tagging it Modlook for the .com link you have mentioned.

  Hi lidiaegorova,

  lidia-egorova.com expired on 2017-04-30 and is currently in the redemption period:

  Domain Expiration

  It’s still possible to try and recover the domain but you will need to pay an $80 redemption fee in addition to the regular domain renewal costs. If you agree, I can generate a payment request and start the recovery process once it has been paid.

  If you do not want to pay the fee, you can wait until the domain is released but there is no guarantee you will be the first to register it.

  Please let me know what you would like to do.

  Thanks!

  Rahul — please add the ‘modlook’ tag to any threads about domain renewal so we can take a look. The domain was registered through WordPress.com so we can assist with renewal even if it points to another site.

  Sure, I’ve sent a payment request to the email address on your account — please let me know if you don’t receive it. Once that has been paid I will contact our domain registrar.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for your payment. I’ve contacted our domain provider and I’ll let you know when I’ve received a reply — this is usually 1-2 business days.

  Speak to you soon.
