  Hello!

  If it’s pending delete status you would want to review this: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Looking at the information it looks like it’s in redemption or close to being released.

  Depending on what steps you want to take to either see if you can pay the redemption fee or see if it’s released, just in case I’m tagging in a staff member to take a look and see.

  Hi there,

  Once a domain enters pendingDelete, there is no way to get it back. That means the domain is already past the redemption period, and the registrar is preparing to completely delete the domain. It’s not possible to request that they restore it at this point.

  If you still want that domain, your only option now is to wait for it to be released by the registrar, which can still be a couple of weeks. Once it’s released, anyone will be able to register it again, and you could lose it if anyone has it on back-order with another registrar.
