  Hello, I would like to recover my domain name which has expired since March 2019.
  Can you tell me if this is possible and what is the procedure to follow?
  This is the domain name: herberousse.com
  Thank you for your help

  Hi there,

  I checked and the domain is still available for you to register again with your site.

  To purchase your domain, go to your Domains page by selecting My Sites → Manage → Domains and clicking the Add Domain button at the top right.

  

  For full instructions on registering a domain name, please visit:

  Please note that registering a domain with WordPress.com requires the purchase of a paid plan:

  Thanks,

  Hello to you and thank you for your response!

  When I click on “page domain” then on “my site”, I get the message “you don’t have a site” … So I can’t find the “manage” button

  Do I have to create a site first to be able to retrieve the domain name?

  Thanks for your help !

  Yes, you need to create a site before registering that domain again.
