  Actually it’s Bitchinhousewife.com not the wordpress version.

  Hey there,

  I checked with our registrar and bitchinhousewife.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!

  There Is no where in the back end of my site that shows this site name and how to renew it. I don’t understand why this isn’t a matter is signing in and selecting the site and paying for it?!?

  Now that the domain is in redemption, you no longer have control over the site – it’s technically in the registry’s ownership. So, we’ll need to retrieve the domain from the registry so that you don’t permanently lose it.

  We can most likely retrieve it, but not without the $80 fee per ICANN regulations.

  Let me know if you want to me to reach out to the registry.

  Thanks,
