    Hello,

    I have received several reminders stating “Your domain ________.com expired 2 months ago. Please renew now to ensure that visitors can reach your site at this address.
    Action! ciaoflamingo.com expired”.

    But having many fraudulent emails I thought it was a scam. Indeed my site is now not working but I can’t find how to renew my domain name the following message appears “Sorry, this user account does not have the product you are trying to renew.”

    My domain name is ciaoflamingo.com
    Thank you,

  • Hello there,

    It does look like ciaoflamingo.com has expired.

    Would you like to restore this domain?

  • Unknown's avatar

    yes, please.
    How do I get it back?

  • Hi there,

    That domain has already been removed from our system and is currently in redemption with our registrar. It is still possible for me to recover the domain at this point, but our registrar charges an $80 fee to restore a domain from redemption. Let me know if you agree to that fee and I can get the recovery process started.

    why is it so expensive? at “Go daddy” I was told he was still at wordpress?

    You let the domain expire, meaning it’s not active anymore. For a short period of time after a domain cancels or expires, we have a grace period to recover the domain without an extra fee.

    After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period, the length of which can vary. This means the domain name can still be recovered, but there is an $80.00 redemption fee required in addition to the normal renewal cost (in your case, $18). This is standard practice for domain registrars and not something WordPress.com controls.

    GoDaddy has the same policy for a domain that is in redemption and charges an $80 fee as well. From their website:

    The Redemption fee is currently $80.00 USD and is subject to change under the terms of this Agreement.

    Let us know if you’d like to pay that $80 redemption fee and we can get started to try and recover your domain. If we’re unsuccessful in recovering your domain, you would be refunded this amount.

    Thanks.

    I received an email but I am asked to log in? “https://mc.a8c.com/” This seems suspicious, what do I have to log in to I don’t understand.
