  It has been expired for a longer time and I was not able to deal with its renewal for many rwasons. Any chance to have it back? It has still my company’s name and info about my company’s profile and products.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  When you let a domain expire, you are literally stating you no longer want to have that domain. After a lengthy periode, the domain becomes available to anyone who wants to buy it. There is no legal ground to claim ‘you’ domain.
  If your site was running on the wordpress.com platform, it returned to a free site, https://sarkozyandco.wordpress.com/.
  I guess your domain was sarkozyandco.com. According to https://completedns.com/dns-history/ that domain expired on August 13th 2020. Someone else bought it on Sep 22 2020 and let it expire on Nov 3 2021.
  The latest owner bought it on Dec 11 2021.

  Hi there,

  It looks like it has been purchased from someone else. Possibly a domain squatter:

  https://whois.domaintools.com/sarkozyandco.com

  The biggest hope now is that they will drop the domain next year.

  I would suggest purchasing a different domain assuming you’re not willing to pay the squatting price.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
