Where on earth has my website gone?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

bromyardrc.org.uk doesn’t appear to be a valid domain or IP address.

You seem to have let your domain registration lapse. If you bought your domain via wordpress.com, go to Store ->My domains in your dashboard and renew your domain (if that’s still possible).
If you registered the domain through another host you’ll have to renew it with them.

I have renewed the mapping – but I have no idea whether you now own it as it was mapped YEARS ago?? I feel a bit sad that there was no e-mail saying it had expired. It’s very difficult to understand which host owns a domain once it is mapped…. I still don’t know if my website will come back – why didn’t it revert back to the free wordpress one as a standby?

https://bromyarddrcdotorg.wordpress.com/ – is where your files are
You let the domain registration expire April 30 – you need to contact the registrar (not WordPress.COM) and renew the registration quickly before someone else grabs the name

probably at some point domain mapping needs to be renewed if it has not already been renewed

I have just renewed the domain name here:
https://www.123-reg.co.uk/WordPress is saying it is already mapped? I did do a payment for mapping earlier and have an e-mail saying that went through?
Thanks for your help so far -
Yes WordPress.com is saying that bromyardrc.org.uk is mapped – if you renewed the domain mapping in the last few months you should be fine – domain helper (a tool for domain mapping problems) does not show the renewal dates
once the registration has been renewed it can take 24 to 72 hours for the update to move around the internet – registrars change or disable the name servers in many cases when the registration expires to get your attention

You be welcome
Probably a good idea to double check with your registrar to make sure they have reset the name servers to the proper settings

Hi vivbell!
It looks like you have not contacted your registrar to renew your domain.
http://www.who.is/whois/bromyardrc.org.uk
According to whois, your domain is registered through Easily Limited (http://www.easily.co.uk). While your WordPress.com Domain Mapping upgrade is in good standing, that is separate from your domain itself.
Please contact your registrar to renew your domain.
Let me know if you have any questions about the difference between your domain registration, your domain registrar, and your WordPress.com Domain Mapping upgrade!

I have contacted them but because someone who left the organisation set it up I have no access to the account it’s a nightmare. I am going to ring them now to see if they can hand it over to me
-
That sounds really frustrating. Good luck!
Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help once you get the domain renewed. :)
-
Success! I managed to track down the login and password and have renewed it – thanks for your help :-)
-
Fabulous! Make sure you check in with your registrar and make sure your name servers are set up correctly! You’ll want them to be the following:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMLet me know if I can help with anything else! :)
