  Hi, Ali

  have you received notification on the upcoming expiration via email and messages on your Dashboard?

  If yes, when? There is a grace period for about 10 – 14 days, during which the domain can be renewed at the regular price.

  Hi Ali,

  It looks like the domain was cancelled per your request here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-wordpress-delete-my-registered-domain

  I’m happy to reach out to the registrar in an attempt to restore it back to your account, but I can’t guarantee I will be successful. Would you like me to reach out in an attempt to restore the domain? If I’m successful, I would then send over a payment request form.

  Actually, on second thought, never mind. Don’t worry about it. I don’t need it, but thank you! :)

  Sounds great! I won’t try to restore it back to your account. Let us know if you need anything else!

  Hi Ali,

  Since it’s been so long since the domain was cancelled, I’m not hopeful that we’ll be able to return it to your account. However, I’ll give it a shot! I’ve reached out to the domain registrar. I’ll keep you posted!

  Hi @alibennett1 – Good news! We were able to restore the domain. Can you let me know which one of your active blogs you would like me to apply the domain to – dyssy.wordpress.com or faithconversionstory.wordpress.com? Once you let me know, I’ll restore the domain to your account and send a manual payment request for the domain cost.

  The domain URL can be applied to a single .wordpress.com blog.
  Which one do you want to apply it to?

  Hi @alibennett1 –

  alibennett.wordpress.com is not available.

  Both of the following were previously deleted:

  – alibennettdotcom.wordpress.com

  – alibennett1.wordpress.com

  Once a site URL is deleted, it cannot be reused again.

  Would alibennettsite.wordpress.com work? Remember, visitors will only see alibennett.com. If so, please complete the following steps to add the site to your account:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-new-site to-an-existing-account

  Let me know once you’ve done that, and I will add the domain!
