  Hi there, your domain 4massivedamage.com expired on April 13, 2013. An expired domain can’t be transferred to another registrar. Before it expired, we sent email warnings and displayed notifications on your dashboard.

  Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 80 days. During this time, your domain may be put up for auction or sold on back-order. You can learn more about expired domains here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  The good news is that we may still be able to recover your domain if it has not yet been deleted or purchased by someone else. A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by the domain registry and is not one which we can waive.

  The total price will be $106, which is $26 for the regular private domain renewal plus the $80 late renewal fee.

  Please reply back if you’d like us to begin the recovery process and I’ll send you a link where you can make the payment. If we are unable to recover your domain your payment will be refunded.
