  Howdy,

  Your domain, drlaurahauben.com, expired on December 3, 2011.

  Unfortunately your domain is in redemption as you didn’t renew it in time. You have three options for recovering an expired domain:

  1) Pay WordPress.com $97.00 to reactive the domain. This includes an annual subscription to the WordPress.com domain mapping and registration upgrades. We have no control over the additional cost as it is levied on us by our domain registrar.

  2) Go to http://pool.com/ register there and place the domain on backorder. As soon as the name becomes available Pool will try to get it for you. The domain would cost a minimum of $60 from there.

  3) Another alternative is to just wait, hope no one else buys it and get it again for $17.00.

  If you want to be 100% sure of getting your domain back, you must use the first option. Please go to PayPal and transfer US$97.00 to “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”. In the notes field, enter “For renewal of domain: drlaurahauben.com”. Reply to this email after your transfer the payment and send us the transaction ID you got from PayPal. We will contact our domain registrar who will reactive your domain within a few days, if not hours.

  PLEASE NOTE: Time is of the essence here. Because your domain is very close to being processed out of the system, it may no longer be possible to recover it. If you chose option #1 and we are unable to recover, you will be fully refunded.
