  Hi strongnotsorry,

  thenicethings.com expired on 3rd October 2017, which is why you are no longer able to renew it from your account. This domain is currently in the redemption period:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  At this stage, we can still try to recover thenicethings.com but you will need to pay an $80 redemption fee in addition to the domain cost. If you agree, I can send a payment request and contact our domain registrar once it has been paid.

  If you don’t want to pay the redemption fee, the other option is to wait until thenicethings.com is released. However, this process can take 80 days or more and there is no guarantee you will be the first to register it again — as domains are released on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

  Please let me know which option you prefer and if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for confirming, I’ve sent a payment request to email address on your Account Settings page. I will contact our domain registrar once your payment has come through.

  Just wanted to let you know your payment has come through. I’ll be in touch again when I receive a reply from our registrar — this is usually 1-2 business days.

  Speak soon.
