  Hey there,

  I checked with our registrar and gregfrucci.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!

  For some reason, the wrong blog address auto posted in my request for help.

  I need help with gregfrucci.com which was gregfrucci.wordpress.com, not pathof300.wordpress.com.

  I think the same situation applies, but I want to reclaim the domain for http://www.gregfrucci.com since I have it pointed to my Squarespace site which is my business site, so I would really love to get it back up.

  I understand the $80 + $23 and am willing to do that as soon as possible. I’m not a “computer guy,” so help would very much be appreciated.

  My mind is that of an artist…. LOL.

  Hi @gregfrucci!

  When you get a moment, can you check your email for the payment link to process the domain? Thanks! :)

  You can reply to that email once you’ve submitted the payment to let us know!
