How to renew my domain's name ?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I have a wordpress.ORG blog (http://poudre-a-canons.com) and this is the email I just got from wordpress.COM :

    This email is to notify you that the following domain name(s) is set to expire on the date(s) listed:
    POUDRE-A-CANONS.COM – Dec. 26, 2014
    To renew, cancel or otherwise manage your domain(s) and for further assistance, please go to the Store -> My Upgrades section of your WordPress.com dashboard.
    NOTE: For certain TLDs, if renewals are not processed in the proper respective time frame, redemption fees may be applied and/or your domain name may be placed on non-renewal status.
    ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (and/or the associated ccTLD authority), requires that we send this renewal notice. To review this ICANN policy, visit http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp.

    HOW COME ? DO I have to renew it ???? I’m not anymore on wordpress.com but on .ORG !
    Thank you for helping !!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Because the domain POUDRE-A-CANONS.COM is registered with WordPress.COM – you can renew it here or you can transfer the registration to another registrar if you want and renew it at your new host. If you do not renew POUDRE-A-CANONS.COM your web site will crash just after Christmas

    Thank you very much, I don’t find where I can renew it on wordpress.com though… :(

    Dashboard >> Store >> My Upgrades

    But I can’t see the base blog name, it should be the blog that you had the name mapped to originally

    I have flagged this for staff attention as they should be able to help you with the link for you

    I found where was “my upgrades ” but it’s weird because this is what it says for my blog:

    poudre-a-canons.com (this is the address of my blog)
    Domain registration
    Renewing
    22 euros /year

    SO basically it looks like I don’t have to do anything … But below in a red box there is this message : “Domain not pointing to WordPress.com”
    So I’m confused, I just want to make sure I will keep my domain and the payment will be automatic…

    I just got this email :
    poudre-a-canons.com is about to be automatically renewed on November 26, 2014.
    You will be charged €22.00 for this renewal later today.
    You don’t have to do anything — this is just a reminder.
    If you don’t want to renew, you can disable automatic renewal under Store > My Upgrades in your dashboard.

    SO everything is great !! :)
    Thanks for your help !

    You be welcome

    But below in a red box there is this message : “Domain not pointing to WordPress.com”
    So I’m confused, I just want to make sure I will keep my domain and the payment will be automatic…

    That means that you have domain mapping but you have moved off WordPress.COM to your own host and the name servers are no longer pointing to WordPress.COM – normal message for a blog that has been moved to your own host from WordPress.COM

    As long as you remember to renew the domain name all is well

    Hi there,

    I checked your domain poudre-a-canons.com, and it was successfully auto renewed for another year. (When your domain is set to auto renew, we’ll try to renew it ahead of time to make sure nothing happens to it. However, we’re still required to send you that notice about the domain’s expiration date ahead of time.)

    The domain is now valid through December 26, 2015, so you’re all set. :) Thanks, auxclass, for helping explain the situation!
