Reviving an old domain/wordpress premium?
-
Hi, I had a blog (meridebike.com) for a cross country bike trip couple years ago that my brother (who recently passed away) set up, so I don’t know the process in which he put everything together. The domain has expired (but is available). How would I be able to revive it? Would it be possible to go back to the free version of _______.wordpress.com? Mostly, I’d like to have access to the content that was on the blog.
Whenever I try to do anything now, wordpress tells me to update jetpack. But whenever I try to update jetpack, I’m told “This webpage is not available” (since the domain has expired). So I enter an infinite loop of not-being-able-to-do-anything.
It seems from the forums that only WordPress staff have the arcane skills necessary to accomplish something like this so this is primarily directed at them.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

My condolences regarding your brother.
The site that was associated with meridebike.com was not a WordPress.com site. It is a self-hosted, WordPress.org site.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. You can read more about that here:
Since your site is self-hosted with a different provider, support staff at WordPress.com do not have access to your site’s files or the ability to provide support for your current issue.
You can find support for your self-hosted WordPress site here:
You may also wish to contact your host’s support team for more assistance.
However, the WordPress.com address meridebike.wordpress.com appears to be available. You can register it here:
