Renew Website Domain Subscription
-
My website domain registration expired a couple months ago, but I want to renew the subscription. However, when I click the ‘renew subscription’ button embedded in the ‘expiration warning’ emails from WordPress, it just takes me to my purchases section, which does not have any sign of renewing domain registration on it. How do I renew my expired domain subscription? And if I renew it, will everything I posted still be intact?

Since your domain name has already expired, the following will happen (found in the domain expiration page in the support pages):
What happens when my domain expires?
Once a domain expires, it goes through a series of steps that make it increasingly difficult (and more expensive) to renew.
Also, it’s possible it’s now in a redemption period:
Redemption Period
After the grace period ends, your domain enters the redemption period, the length of which can vary. This means the domain name can still be renewed, but there is an $80.00 redemption fee required in addition to the normal renewal cost. (This is standard practice for domain registrars.)
It’s important to note that during the redemption phase, domains can be included in expired-domain auctions, where another party can bid on your domain name. If the domain is claimed by someone else in an auction, you will not be able to renew. If you made a payment in attempt to reclaim the domain out of redemption and were unsuccessful, you will get a refund.

Why can’t I renew a domain name or plan on my site?
Only the owner of the domain name or plan may renew the upgrade. If you don’t see the option to renew listed via Purchases, let the owner of the upgrade know so they can renew it.
