  Hello,

  I previously had a domain name registered with WordPress but it is now in its ‘redemption period’. I have read that it is possible to have it re-registered for an $80 fee. Please can someone at WordPress advise on how to do this.

  Thanks
  Andrew

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore eyangolanscholarships.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!

  Thanks for answering.

  How will you notify us when you have heard back from the registrar? On this forum thread or will you email directly? Any idea on how long it may take?

  Thanks
  Andrew

  Hi there,

  I will notify you here from the forum thread although I can email you if you prefer. It usually takes about 24 hours to hear back from our registrar – so I should hear something today.

  Hi there,

  I have restored eyangolanscholarships.com back under your account and everything should be good to go! I also sent a manual payment your way.

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