  The registration for my domain freeformcollective.org has expired and I don’t see the renew button on the domain management page. I have tried adding the domain however it is saying its already registered.

  I originally registered the domain with wordpress. How can I contact the registrar wordpress is working with to renew the registration?

  Thank you.

  Upgrades for domain mapping are annually renewable and we do get plenty of warning. A warning is posted on our dashboards about 2 month prior to the renewal date. Another one appears 30 days prior to the renewal date. Google prefers domains that are not going to expire quickly, so I just renew when I get the 60 day notice.

  Once a Domain registration expires it goes into Redemption and will cost more than normal to renew. You should contact support Staff at this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
