  Your domain edgarphotography.com expired on June 8. We sent several email warnings before it expired.

  Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 90 days. You can learn more about expired domains here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  The good news is that we are still able to recover your domain, as it is currently in the Grace period: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/#grace-period

  You’ll need to pay the regular $18 renewal price before we can recover the domain.

  I have sent a payment request for the total of $18 to the email address on your account. Once the payment is received, we will send a note to our domain partner regarding edgarphotography.com. This process only takes about 2-3 days start to finish.

  Please hurry though, as will enter the Redemption period next if not renewed soon: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  We’ve now heard back and your domain has been restored to your account.

  Sometimes when a domain is restored it can take a bit of time for it to start working properly again everywhere on the internet, so if it isn’t working just yet for you it will soon. It is working for me now.

  @edgarphotography we’re glad we could help you out with this.

  If you’re using the domain with another host now, you can transfer it if you’d like so it’s easier to remember to renew:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Or, if you’d like to keep the registration here with us that’s fine too. I’d just recommend adding a card so it can automatically renew going forward. You can do that here:

  Cheers!
