  I do not see a domain URL above. What is is it?

  When you allow your domain expire, it then goes through a process that can take several months to complete described at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.

  I’ve tagged this thread in the sidebar with modlook for Staff attention. Please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
  If you’re logged into the account that is associated with your expired domain, they will look up its status and get in touch with details.
  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into the associated account, and provide the domain URL here.

  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of firstpriorityhomehealthcare.com?

  That domain expired in August 2016, and was removed from our system at the end of September. That domain has since been released and it appears that someone else bought it in November last year, as it’s now registered with Namebright.com.

  https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=firstpriorityhomehealthcare.com

  There is no way to get that domain back any more.

  Thanks kokkieh, this was in reference to firstpriorityhomehealthcare.com. Is there anyway to retrieve the content from this expired domain to setup a new domain?

  That depends. Were you using the domain with a WordPress.com site, or with a different provider?

  If you were using the domain with WordPress.com, your site should still be at the free address that was created when you first set up the site: https://firstpriorityhomehealthcare.wordpress.com/

  If your site was hosted with another provider, you’ll need to contact that provider to ask if they still have any backups of the site on their servers. We don’t have any access to sites not on our servers, even if the domain was registered with us.
