  Hi! My blog expired two years ago and I’d like to get it back. I’d like to get my web address I paid for back, but after I purchased an upgrade, it went back to the free domain address instead of my custom.

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

  Hi there,

  Can you please tell us the address you’re trying to get back? If you’re speaking of monkandme.com, there’s no way for us to get it back for you.

  That domain has already been removed from our system, and it looks like it has since been bought by a dropcatch service – a service where people can place domains on back-order to buy them the moment they expire. So someone else now owns that domain, and the only way for you to use it again is if the new owner is willing to sell it back to you privately.

  It looks like sarahsmilesawhile.com expired in 2016, and it also is no longer in our control.

  You can find details on the current owner of that domain in the Whois database, should you want to contact them to try and purchase the domain from them directly:
