I want to renew my blog
-
Hey I was trying to pay so I can renew my blog can you contact me as soon as possible
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Your domain registration seems to be in Redemption, you will need staff help
I have flagged this for the staff to help you
-
I can help you with that. I’m going to send an email to the address associated with your WordPress.com account. Please post here if you do not receive it.

Please do not delay on making that payment, the longer a domain is in redemption, the less likely it is that we can recover it.
-
Hey I just had to pay 100 dollars for the blog.I did not mean to do that…before you take it down I was wondering is there a way I can change that.I did not mean to do that
-
So you did NOT want to pay for the renewal of thecottonclub.me? You wanted to cancel the domain and allow it to expire instead?
Please let me know what you were intending to do.
-
PS – when a domain name goes into Redemption, the Registrar adds a fee to renewal to it, standard on the internet – WordPress.COM just passes the cost on to you
-
Will it cost me 100??! I’m willing to to pay the 25 renewal but 100 is outrageous in my opinion
-
When you allow a domain name to expire it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the domain name registrar and they can charge whatever fee they wish to redeem it. WordPress.com cannot waive that charge because they do not set the redemption fee.
-
Your expired domain has gone into the redemption period and incurred a late-renewal fee to renew. I understand your frustration, but there is nothing we can do about the late fee. It is imposed on us by our registrar (and is standard practice for every registrar that I am familiar with). You can find more info on domain expiration here:
We strongly encourage users to set up auto renewal to avoid this sort of issue. But even if auto-renewal is not an option, we send multiple emails alerting users of domain expiration and put alert notices on the blog dashboard when users log in.

I can refund that payment, but you will lose your domain at this point if we do that.
It all depends on how important the domain name is to you.
