  Hey there, this domain expired some time ago, and it’s going through this process now:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  The registrar charges an $80 fee to retrieve it at this point, in addition to the regular renewal fee. Since it’s pretty time-sensitive, I’ll send an invoice now so you can take care of that right away. We can reach out to the registrar as soon as it’s paid.

  Or if you prefer, you can just let that process continue. The redemption period usually takes several weeks, and there’s a significant chance of losing the domain to another buyer if someone else happens to want it. If you want to use that option, let us know so we can cancel the invoice.

  Thanks!
