  Hi @inspiration20shop,

  The inspiration20.com domain expired two months ago, and is currently in redemption. I have sent a manual payment link to your WordPress.com account email.

  Please let me know once you’ve completed the payment, and we’ll work towards restoring the domain to your account.

  Domains are leased for a period of purchase years, they are not owned forever, this is how the entire domain industry operates and we cannot change that.

  Your domain inspiration20.com expired on January 4. We sent several email warnings both before and shortly after it expired.

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

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

  A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by our domain partner and is not one which we can waive. That’s in addition to your annual domain renewal from us, so the total is going to be $98.

  I have sent a payment request for the total of $98 to the email address on your account. Once the payment is sent, please reply here to let us know, and we will recover inspiration20.com.
