    Hi there!

    I see that the domain is currently in a redemption period.

    Domains go through a complicated process after they expire. During this time, it is common for the domain’s original owner to permanently lose access to the domain because of the multi-step expiration process. You can learn more about the domain expiration process here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

    The redemption period is a short window during which you can recover the domain. However, there’s an $80 redemption fee in addition to the price of the renewal. It’s charged by the registry and something we can’t waive.

    If you’d like to recover the domain, please let us know, and we’ll send you a payment request for $80 + the domain’s original price. If you don’t want to restore the domain with the redemption fee, you can wait until the domain has gone through the redemption process. If the domain is not sold off at an auction, you may register it at the regular price at the end of the expiration process.

    That, however, is a risky process and not something we recommend if you intend to use the domain.

    If you want to recover the domain, please let me know, and I’ll send you a payment link via email.

    Regards
