    Hi there, @xavierandignac! 👋🏼

    ⚠️ I checked the domain and noticed it expired a while ago (on 2024-09-16), was on the expiry auction, and from what I see is now registered with Ionos.

    🗑️ It was deleted (after the auction, it seems) on 2024-10-29.

    It was then removed from your site on 2024-11-28, but you tried connecting it on 2025-01-22 at 16:43:57 UTC.

    🚩 If you registered it with Ionos, you’re welcome to contact them for further help with the domain.

    In this case (if you own it now), you can connect it to your site like this:

    Domains » Connect a Domain to WordPress.com

    If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Connecting (also called “mapping”) a domain to WordPress.com is free with any paid WordPress.com plan. Follow the steps in this guide to connect your existing domain name to WordPress.com. About Domain Connection Connecting (or “mapping”) a domain to your WordPress.com site mea

    I hope this helps! 😊

    I bought the domain through wordpress.com. The domain was released because I didn’t pay. A domain company has bought it and ask minimum 200$ for it.
    I don’t like how they make money. Nobody else wear that name in the world.

    When you let a domain expire you are literally stating you don’t need it anymore. According to https://completedns.com/dns-history/ that domain already expired back in October 2024.

    There is no way you can claim that domain. Best solution is to go for another TLD – https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-pricing-and-available-tlds/
