  I have a blog khilafateeislamnagar.com. My upgrade will expire on May 21, 2013.
  I want to upgrade it for 5 years at a time so my blog name remains khilafateeislamnagar.com instead of khilafateeislamnagar.wordpress.com
  I am waiting for your response.
  It’s an urgent issue, please!
  Blog url: http://khilafateeislamnagar.wordpress.com/

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

  We do not have a way to process bulk renewals at this time, but we should by the time your next renewal is up.

  Morning James

  Recently I renewed my domain mapping – at the 60 day point I received an email and was able to manually renew for a year ahead of the 30 day automatic renewal – so I now know that WordPress.COM knows how to do a Manual Renewal. You just don’t let us see it until the 60 days before the end of the upgrade.

  So how about just uncover the Manual Renewal button all the time?

  I really don’t care about being able to put say “3” into a box and have WordPress.COM multiply by three for me.

  I would be happy to be able to just do one year renewal more than once – one year at a time – I pay ahead for my domain name into the future and the same for my email hosting having messed up the email that I was sent for both of them so I now pay ahead –

  Seems to me my suggestion would be easy to implement – WordPress.COM could limit the high cost upgrades to a few years ahead if they wanted – but the domain mapping and domain name are the important ones since the loss of them crashes a blog

  thanks

  It is something that we are working on. It’s not at the top of the list with the critical bugs, new features, etc, but it will be done soon and is actually part of a larger cooler project.

  Sorry for the inconvenience!

  But this would be a “new” feature – I can’t understand why companies stand in the way of customers wanting to spend money – please remind the team that this is a common request in the forum

  thanks

  PS – if I want cool I can stick my head in the freezer or go jump into Puget Sound (50 degree water) : ) – – sorry could not resist

  It is a new feature, it’s just part of a much larger project, so it won’t be a “quick fix.” Rather, you’ll notice a lot of cool new things along with the ability to bulk renew.
