  I have been told my domain will expire on 1st November. I would like to renew this via Paypal. However there seems to be no button on there to allow me to do this.

  Is there a Paypal address I can send the money to?

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

  Hi,

  The administrator that purchased the domain name will need to be the one to renew it. There is a domain management link on the Store > Domains page that they can use to renew the domain.

  Hi Antoinette,

  Unfortunately, we no longer control the domain hellomisspatterson.com and cannot renew it for you. There were expiration notices displayed, both on your dashboard and via email. Once your domain expired, it was in the redemption period for a while. Because it was not redeemed, it was sent back to the registrar who then sold it to a new owner.

  Here is the contact information of the new owner: http://whois.domaintools.com/hellomisspatterson.com

  You could try contacting them to see if they will send the domain to you. Please be sure to use a reputable online purchasing site for this transaction, if it happens.

  I also noticed that hellomisspatterson.org and hellomisspatterson.net are still available. If you are interested, you can purchase them via Store > Domains in your Dashboard.
