    Hi,

    I had a previous domain registration via WordPress.com for one of my blogs. The domain was “partynowasklater.com” and it was directed to the blog currently located at partynowasklater.wordpress.com.

    I don’t seem to be able to renew this feature and the registration is needed for marketing purposes as soon as possible.

    Please help me in this matter.

    Best regards,

    The domain partynowasklater.com expired on 2012-04-18 and is currently in redemption. This means that the domain is deactivated, but has not yet been fully released. During this time, you can still renew this domain, but the process is more complicated than a regular renewal.

    If you’d like to renew your ownership of this domain, you have several options:

    1) We can renew the domain for you through our registrar. This costs $98, which includes $18 for the domain and an additional cost of $80 for a late renewal. We have no control over this additional cost, as it is levied on us by our domain registrar.

    2) Try to register the domain through a domain back-ordering service, such as Pool (Registering starts at $60 with Pool) http://pool.com/

    3) Wait until the domain is out of redemption and becomes available for registration again. Then, you can register it again for the regular price of $18. This would run the risk of the domain being registered by someone else before you, or the domain not being released for registration at all. The exact redemption period and the release of the domain are at the discretion of our domain registrar and we can’t control it.

    If you want to have the best chance of getting your domain back, your best bet would be the first option. If you choose this option, please reply to this email letting us know. We will then send you a request for payment via PayPal and will contact our registrar on your behalf, asking to restore the domain.

    Please note that time is of the essence here. Because your domain is very close to being cancelled, it may no longer be possible to recover it. If you pay for renewal and we are unable to recover the domain, you will be fully refunded.

    Hi,

    I have already replied to you via email but it seems the messages did not get through.

    I would like to go for the first option and renew through your registrar, regardless of the cost. The objective is to have the domain redirect up and running asap.

    I’m waiting for the payment instructions or paypal link.

    Best regards.

    I have sent the request to the email address on your account.

    Once paid, please reply here with the receipt or transaction ID, and we’ll contact our registrar partner ASAP.

    Hi,

    Payment has been done.

    The transaction ID is [removed]

    How much time do you think it will take to get the domain up?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for confirming!

    I have contacted our registrar partner and will let you know when I hear back. It shouldn’t take more than a few hours.
