    My primary domain expired in July 2013. How do I re-register it? I’d like to keep it if possible.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    As sullivanprimeplus.com expired over 90 days ago, we no longer control the domain and cannot renew it for you.

    However, if the name is still available, it’s possible that you can purchase it. When you are logged into the blog with which you’d like to manage the domain (originally it was sullivanprimeplus.wordpress.com), go to your Store. Click Add a Domain. Follow the prompts and you will be informed about the status of the domain name.

    Please let me know if I can assist you! Best of luck with this.

    Thank you for your response. I just repurchased the domain at GoDaddy.com. I would like to transfer it to WordPress but continue receiving my email as is at sullivanprimeplus.net How do I do that? I am in the process of upgrading my site to business and have a few other questions regarding creating links to other sites. Can you help me?
    Thank you again,

    Hi there, I’m so glad to hear you were able to repurchase your domain!

    While we do not accepting incoming domain transfers, we can map your site to your GoDaddy domain.

    Here are the instructions:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain

    Is see you already purchased domain mapping for sullivanprimeplus.com/, so the next step will be changing your names servers at GoDaddy. The link above will explain the process.

    I would like to…continue receiving my email as is at sullivanprimeplus.net How do I do that?

    If the .net domain is hosted at GoDaddy, you’d go through the set up process here:

    If the .net domain is hosted elsewhere, take a look at this:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/add-other-email/

    If you have questions about setting up your Business upgrade, I think you’d be best served speaking to one of our specialists who supports that package. When you sign in to your Dashboard after upgrading, you will see a live chat prompt in the bottom right-hand side of your window. Live chat is available on US business days between 9:00am to 5:00pm EST. You can also submit private support requests in the contact form, instead of the usual public support requests.

    Let me know if you have any other questions! Cheers.
