  Hello, I am an organizer with TEDxGainesville. Someone who is no longer affiliated with us purchased the TEDxGainesville.org domain to create a website years ago, but it appears to no longer be paid for. Still, the domain still shows as unavailable when I try to purchase. Thanks in advance for any help.

  That domain is still up and running and brings you to https://tedxgainesville.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  That domain is owned by a different account than the one you’re currently logged in to. As @staartmees already mentioned, it hasn’t expired and to be able to renew it you need to log in to the account that owns.

  If you don’t know how to access that other account, please follow our Account Recovery guide:
