    Hi,

    I need to recover my domain smdbhangraclub.com from redemption. It was purchased via WordPress and we failed to renew in time. Please advise, thanks!

    Hey there,

    You are correct – I checked with our registrar and smdbhangraclub.com is now in a redemption period. You can still renew your domain through us, but it is now a more expensive and complicated process to do so. Our registrar charges an $80 late renewal fee in addition to the $26 we charge to renew the domain. The good news is that this is still a chance of reclaiming the domain through this option.

    Your other option is to wait until the redemption period is over so that the domain becomes available for registration again. Domains are usually in redemption for approximately 80 days, but with this option, you run
    the risk of someone else jumping in front of you to purchase the domain before you get the chance.

    Please let me know if you want to proceed with paying the late renewal fee in the attempt to reclaim the domain name. This option is also time sensitive because the domain can be auctioned off to an expired domain bidder.

    I would suggest enabling the auto-renew option so that you will not have to worry about losing control over your domain in the future.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response! I’d like to go ahead and renew the domain and pay the fee. What’s the best way to go about that?

    Hi there,

    I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore smdbhangraclub.com to your account, but I cannot guarantee that we will be able to get the domain back. If I am successful, I can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

    I will let you know once I hear back from the registrar.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you, please do so. You may send the payment request as soon as you have an answer.

    Will you let me know on this thread or through the registered email?
