Lost my domain – URGENT

Please help!

What is the URL?
When you allow your domain expire, it then goes through a process that can take several months to complete described at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/.
If you allow the domain to expire, what will happen is that every domain URL link to your content wherever it appears on the internet and in search engine will be broken. When clicked the broken links will produce a 404 page not found. It will take about 3 months for the content to be re-indexed by search engines under the underlying .wordpress.COM URLs, or if the domain is recovered it may also take that long for re-indexing.
Additionally, and more important still is that someone else may purchase the domain URL. That is why we have auto-renew https://en.support.wordpress.com/manage-purchases/#auto-renew and why allowing a domain expire or canceling it is never recommended, unless you intend to archive or delete the underlying site.

If you’re logged into the account that is associated with your expired domain, they will look up its status and get in touch with details.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into the associated account, and provide the domain URL here. -
thanks .. url is http://www.xinperformance.com
I have just repurchased the package and now trying to get it back up and running.
I’m not worried about search engines – but more so clients getting to my page and most importantly – my email being re-activated

I guessed it was that URL due to this earlier thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/domain-mapping-to-godaddy-hosting-not-working-even-with-instructions?replies=12#post-2074321
