    Hello everyone,

    My credit card expired and therefore my domain did not renew automatically. It has expired a month ago so I assume I will have to pay a fee, but I can’t find any information about how to go about this.

    The domain name is http://www.duncancasey.com and it was purchased on WordPress.

    Could anyone provide me with some assistance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

    Hi there,
    When a domain expires it falls into a grace period for about 10 days to 2 weeks, during this period the domain can be renewed at the regular price.

    After this, the domain falls under the redemption period(length can vary). You can also renew your domain during this period, but you will charged an extra $80.00 redemption fee along with the regular renewal cost.

    NOTE:

    During the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name. If the domain is claimed by someone else in an auction, you will not be able to renew. If you made a payment in attempt to reclaim the domain out of redemption and were unsuccessful, you will get a refund.

    Howdy!

    It looks like you’ve got this figured out and the domain is active until March 1, 2018. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help out with :)
