Registrar expired

  • Unknown's avatar

    I bought capturedslc.com through WordPress and it expired in January I now use Wix and would like capturedslc.com to be ran through Wix. Right now my business page isn’t working and I’m getting a message saying Domain Connection not confirmed. What is my next step, or what do I need to do?

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

  • Hi there,

    That domain has already been removed from our system and is currently in redemption with our registrar. It is still possible for me to recover the domain at this point, but our registrar charges a $80 fee to restore a domain from redemption. I’ll need you to agree to that fee before I can get the recovery process started.

    Alternatively, you can wait a few weeks for the redemption phase to complete, and then the domain should be released again in which case you can register it with Wix. However, I cannot guarantee that you’ll be able to register it again – if the domain is on back order with another registrar, it will be registered the moment it becomes available and you will lose it. The safer option is to try and recover it.

    Thank you for your response. I appreciate the quick feed back. I would like to allow you to try and recover the domain, but I would like to know how long the process typically is. Thank you!

  • Once we receive payment and email our registrar the domain is usually restored within about two days. I’ve sent you a payment link via email that you can use to pay the redemption fee. Should the recovery fail, that payment will be refunded in full.

    As you’ve deleted your WordPress.com site, I’ll also need you to create a new free site to which we can connect the domain, otherwise you won’t be able to point/transfer it to Wix once it’s restored. Please use the link below to create a new free site:

    Payment sent. Thank you for your help

  • Thanks. I’ve emailed our registrar. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

  • Your domain has been restored and is showing your Wix site again.
