How much is the redemption fee for a domain?

Hello,
I would like to get my domain ‘thebluejeanhorseproject.com’ back from redemption. Would you tell me how much the redemption fee is? Thank you very much.

Hi blujeanhorse! Sorry to hear about your domain being on redemption.
To answer your question, here’s a snippet from the support pages:
Redemption Period
After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period, the length of which can vary. This means the domain name can still be renewed, but there is an $80.00 redemption fee required in addition to the normal renewal cost. (This is standard practice for domain registrars.)
It’s important to note that during the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name. If the domain is claimed by someone else in an auction, you will not be able to renew. If you made a payment in attempt to reclaim the domain out of redemption and were unsuccessful, you will get a refund.

Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you need anything else. If not, have a fantastic day! :D

The redemption fee, currently $80. US, is set by the registrar that you purchased the URL from, not by wordpress.COM and wordpress.COM cannot waive the fee. See here please:

Let us know if you want us to contact our registry partner to get the domain out of redemption.
Thanks!
