  Greetings!
  About a year ago, I took over a blog from some colleagues who had been running it before: directdiplomacy.wordpress.com That used to come with directdiplomacy.net, but recently that domain has expired. I’d like to renew it, but when I look at domains under my log-in, there’s no renewal option that is obvious to me and when I search for directdiplomacy.net I am told that the name was not available.

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

  Renewal for directdiplomacy.net will need to be done directly with the domain registrar, which appears to be Key-Systems GmbH http://www.key-systems.net

  Hi there,

  directdiplomacy.net was not registered through WordPress.com, so you will need to speak to the domain registrar about renewing it.

  If you are able to renew the domain, you can then “map” it to your WordPress.com site. There is more information about Domain Mapping here:

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
