  My blog went offline today, and when I logged in I found out that the domain registration and mapping had expired. I paid the $12 to re-register the domain name today, yet it is still offline (http://premiercgblog.com, redirecting to http://premiercg.wordpress.com). I would like to know what else I need to do to get it back up, if anything, or if it just going to take a little time.

  Actually, your domain expired on October 26, and we shouldn’t have allowed the mapping renewal. I have refunded this.

  Your domain is being held by the registrar to return to the public market. If you’d like, I can see if it’s recoverable, but they may change an extra fee. Would you like me to check?

  Any word yet, Macmanx? If there is a fee, that is not a problem. Thank you for the refund on the previous renewal.

  I have contacted our registrar partner and will let you know when I hear back.

  Unfortunately, the domain was awarded to a back-order after expiration. In this case, I recommend registering a new domain.
