Redeeming a domain

    Hi,

    My domain expired because I was getting WordPress notifications to a defunct email, and then I went on holiday. Annoying!

    http://www.jrhennessy.com appears to have exited the grace period, but i’m not sure where it’s at now. It doesn’t seem to have been released or purchased.

    Is it still in redemption?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hey there,

    I checked with our registrar and jrhennessy.com is now in a redemption period. You can still renew your domain through us, but it is now a more expensive and complicated process to do so. Our registrar charges an $80 late renewal fee in addition to the $26 we charge to renew the domain. The good news is that this is still a chance of reclaiming the domain through this option.

    Your other option is to wait until the redemption period is over so that the domain becomes available for registration again. Domains are usually in redemption for approximately 80 days, but with this option, you run
    the risk of someone else jumping in front of you to purchase the domain before you get the chance.

    Please let me know if you want to proceed with paying the late renewal fee in the attempt to reclaim the domain name. This option is also time sensitive because the domain can be auctioned off to an expired domain bidder.

    I would suggest enabling the auto-renew option so that you will not have to worry about losing control over your domain in the future.

    Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply – more than happy to pay the redemption fee if we could proceed with that.

    Hi there,

    I was able to retrieve jrhennessy.com and reactivate it under your account!

    I have sent you the manual payment for the fee and registration, so please pay that when you get the opportunity.

    Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
