  Hi,

  I used to have the tentspiration.com domain and I accidentally let it expire. Can it be recovered?

  Thanks,
  Irene

  Hi there,

  I’ll be happy to contact the registrar to see if we can restore tentspiration.com to your account and can send you a manual payment request form for you to repurchase the domain.

  Please let me know if you are interested in recovering the domain and I will proceed with contacting our registrar.

  Thanks!

  Great! What is the cost of recovering the domain?

  @tentspiration if we can get it renewed right away, it will be $18. If it goes into redemption (which it’s on the verge of doing) it will be $18 plus the registrar’s $80 redemption fee.

  I’ve sent the $18 invoice your way. Can you update us here as soon as that is paid?

  Hi there,

  Thanks for the payment! It usually takes about 24 hours to hear back from the registrar. Once we do hear back, we’ll update you and restore the domain to your account.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Your domain just entered into redemption and therefore a late renewal fee of $80 has been added. This fee is charged by the domain registry and is not one that we can waive.

  Let me know if you agree to that and I’ll email you a payment request.

  Bummer – yes. I agree to that.
