  Hi there, what is the domain involved?

  If you let your domain fully expire and it was purchased by someone else, it may not be able to be recovered. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

  Hi there,

  Is this in regards to Geekendgladiators.com? The domain is no longer registered with us. Unfortunately, it looks like domain squatters have purchased the domain and will probably charge a ridiculous amount for you to get it back from them. You can reach out to them and see how much they’re willing to charge.

  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!
