  Hello there,

  It looks like this domain is now in redemption, and is subject to a redemption fee.

  Please see more here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  Would you like to proceed with this?

  Also, once re-registered, it wouldn’t be possible to transfer the domain for 60 days after domain registration.

  It is possible to use the domain with another provider via custom DNS.

  Hi There,

  To re-register the expired domain, if it falls under the grace period for about ten days to two weeks then the domain can be renewed at the regular price. If you experience difficulty renewing your domain during this time, you can contact Support for additional help.
  After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period there are additional costs that must be paid to the registrar in order to regain access to them. You will need to agree to the charge as well as the renewal fee for WordPress.com staff to request recovery of the domain. Please be aware that there is no guarantee that you will be able to renew as, during the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name.

  For more information about the domain expiration and redemption process please review the following link:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#redemption-period

  Also, to transfer your domain to another registrar, please check the below guide:-
  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  Please note that your domain must be at least 60 days old before you can transfer it away.

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  Yes I think we’d like to proceed with the re-registration if it has to be via yourselves – unless the redemption period is nearly up and the domain will be released soon?

  Thanks

  Hello there,

  It’s not always guaranteed that a domain will be available after the redemption period.

  I’ve reached out via email to complete next steps.

  Can you confirm that this email has been received please.

  Many thanks.
