    Dear all,

    The .org domain of the blog (popgencibio.org) expired on April 28th and I wish to renew it.

    Please let me know how to proceed since that option is not available on the dashboard.

    Thank you,

    popgencibio.org is registered with Wild West Domains but it shows good to April 2013 – and currently directs to some cash for old cars site

    Did you let the registration lapse?

    I have flagged this for the staff to explain more

    Hi there,

    The domain popgencibio.org expired on April 28, 2012 and is currently in redemption. This means that the domain is deactivated, but has not yet been fully released. During this time, you can still renew this domain, but the process is more complicated than a regular renewal.

    If you’d like to renew your ownership of this domain, you have several options:

    1) We can renew the domain for you through our registrar. This costs $106, which includes $18 for the domain, $8.00 for your private registration, and an additional cost of $80 for a late renewal. We have no control over this additional cost, as it is levied on us by our domain registrar.

    2) Try to register the domain through a domain back-ordering service, such as Pool (Registering starts at $60 with Pool) http://pool.com/

    3) Wait until the domain is out of redemption and becomes available for registration again. Then, you can register it again for the regular price of $26, including the private registration. This would run the risk of the domain being registered by someone else before you, or the domain not being released for registration at all. The exact redemption period and the release of the domain are at the discretion of our domain registrar and we can’t control it.

    If you want to have the best chance of getting your domain back, your best bet would be the first option. If you choose this option, please reply to this message letting us know. We will then send you a request for payment via PayPal and will contact our registrar on your behalf, asking to restore the domain.

    Please note that time is of the essence here. Because your domain is very close to being cancelled, it may no longer be possible to recover it. If you pay for renewal and we are unable to recover the domain, you will be fully refunded.

    Let us know how you’d like to proceed.
