  Hi,

  My domain expired the 8th of August and would like to renew it. I can’t find any option to do it on ‘my upgrades’.
  The blog is thepeoplesassemblycambridge.com

  Many thanks for your help.

  Best,

  Maud

  Oh no! 2 domains from this blog have expired!

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  NOTE: Not renewing a domain means every link to it in Bing and Google search results will be broken and no matter where the links are clicked anywhere on the internet there will be a 404 (page not found) message. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/05/avoid-creating-404-pages/

  Your other option is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Thank you very much for the reply.
  Do you have any idea about when I can expect a response from the Staff? I am concerned that the domain name can only be retrieved during a few days after the expiry date.

  Hi,
  The person who bought the domain name is not administering the website anymore, but his email was still in the contact for the domain name. I wasn’t aware of it so I didn’t change it, and as a result I didn’t received the email. Actually, we can live with the wordpress address. The problem is that when someone visit our blog it displays a message saying ‘the owner has not renewed the domain name etc’. How can we do for this message not to display?

  Thanks,

  Maud
