  I am trying to renew freoramble.com that expired over a year ago. I have looked in Manage Purchases but there is no way to pay although it says it will cost US$125.

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

  Hello –

  Unfortunately, we no longer control the domain freoramble.com and cannot renew it for you. All of your content is still available through this URL: https://freoramble.wordpress.com/

  We attempted to inform you of your domain’s expiration (via email and dashboard notices). It was possible to recover the domain for some weeks after its expiration, but because of the time lapsed, the domain was sent back to the registrar, who then sold it to a new owner.

  This support article describes the expiration process in detail, if you are interested:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Here is the publicly available contact information of the new domain owner:
  Albert Lim

  You could try contacting them to see if they will sell the domain to you. Please be sure to use a reputable, online purchasing site for this transaction, if it happens.

  I am sorry I was not able to help you more in this case.

  I have now purchased freoramble.com through GoDaddy.
  What do I need to do from here please?

  Hi there,

  To connect your domain to your site again you’ll need the domain mapping upgrade. Go to My Site ->Domains ->Add and select the Map It option. You’ll also need to change the domain’s name servers with GoDaddy.

  You can find more details, including a link to the relevant instructions for GoDaddy, here:
