  Hi there!

  It looks to be available to register like-new, so if you’d like to do that, go here and give it a shot: https://wordpress.com/domains/add

  Hello!

  Your domain is in redemption unfortunately. I should be able to get it back for you but there’ll be an $80 redemption fee. This is added by our domain registrar.

  Usually the redemption period lasts from about day 15 after expiry to day 80 and then it’s released to the public again at which time you can purchase it for the usual registration price. However it can be risky to wait because someone else might buy it first. You can read more about redemption here:

  If you want to get it back from redemption let me know and I’ll start the process. Alternatively you could register a different domain. sammyballetophotography.me is available.
