  Was the domain registrar WildWestDomains? If so, what is the domain?

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to wings-rh.com?

  If so, the site indeed is now in a redemption period. You can reclaim the domain through this option, but it will be a $80 fee in additional to $18 re-registration.

  Your other option is to wait until the redemption period is over so that the domain becomes available for registration again. Domains are usually in redemption for approximately 80 days, but with this option, you run
  the risk of someone else jumping in front of you to purchase the domain before you get the chance.

  Please let me know if you want to proceed with paying the late renewal fee in the attempt to reclaim the domain name. This option is also time sensitive because the domain can be auctioned off to an expired domain bidder.

  Please visit the support page link for further instructions:

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
