How do I renew my domain name

i there! I assume your site is hosted on WordPress.com, and that you are the site owner?
Depending on how long your domain has been expired, it is either in redemption (domains expired from a few weeks – few months) or actually expired (you need to re-register the domain again through the normal registration process – IF it is available)
If it is in redemption, this means that the domain is deactivated, but has not yet been fully released. During this time, you can still renew this domain, but the process is more complicated than a regular renewal.
If you’d like to renew your ownership of this domain, you have several options:
1) Automattic can renew the domain for you through their registrar. (I believe this costs about $100)
2) Try to register the domain through a domain back-ordering service, such as Pool (Registering starts at $60 with Pool) http://pool.com/
3) Wait until the domain is out of redemption and becomes available for registration again. Then, you can register it again for the regular price of $17. This would run the risk of the domain being registered by someone else before you, or the domain not being released for registration at all. The exact redemption period and the release of the domain are at the discretion of our domain registrar and we can’t control it.
I’m tagging this post with modlook so the staff can let you know if your domain can still be recovered.

The domain redemption fee is assessed by our registrar and is not an Automattic fee. The fee is $80 and it is in addition to your annual registration fee. Typically, this is $98 total with out privacy and $ 106 with privacy.
Also, you can simply check a whois search to confirm if a domain is in redemption.
