  I’d like to renew the domain for my site but am having trouble doing so. Help please!

  The site I need help with is theyolandafund.wordpress.com.

  Would you be able to expand on what are you having trouble with exactly? Thank you!

  Hi there!

  Are you referring to theyolandafund.org? If so, that domain expired and was removed from your account.

  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 domain expiration here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.

  The good news is that we may still be able to recover your domain, however, 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 that we can waive.

  I have already sent you an email where you can pay for the renewal. Once you’ve done that, reply here so we can start the recovery process.

  Thank you for your help! Yes, I am referring to theyolandafund.org.
  I have paid the renewal fee. Is there anything else I need to do?

  Thank you again,

  I’m sorry, but the domain fully expired a week ago and is now in the process of being returned to the public market and out of our control.

  I have refunded what you just paid.

  I recommend trying to register it as a new domain once a day, and eventually you should be able to register it.
