  I accidentally allowed my domain name to expire and now it’s in the Redemption Period. Can I get it back and if so how can I do this?

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

  Hey there,

  I checked and you’re right – tnsow.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!

  Hi Darnell,

  Yes, I think I’d like to renew tnsow.com if I can. Can you help me with this?

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore tnsow.com to your account, but I cannot guarantee that we will be able to get the domain back. If I am successful, I can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  I will let you know once I hear back from the registrar.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Good news!

  I was able to restore your domain to your account for you! I have sent the manual payment for the domain subscription and redemption fee.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

  Oh, that’s great — thanks so much. Will I receive an invoice or something for the renewal? Is it hiding somewhere in my wordpress account?

  You should have received an email for the manual payment. Let me know if you did not receive it.

  It might have gone to the wrong email — there was an old one in the back end of the site (which is probably why I didn’t get the notification about the domain expiring too). I’ve updated that now if you want to resend, or you can send it to (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Thanks!

  We did send it to that email you mentioned. Did you check your spam folder? It sometimes end up there.
