  Earlier this year i was able to view my blog fine.

  I wanted to add another post this month, but when i looked for my blog, only a cached copy existed on Google, dated 1 July.

  Results are still listed for it on Bing – as they were on Google – but, as with Google, the site doesn’t come up.

  I have it linked to an org domain, but even when i enter the WordPress domain, nothing appears.

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

  Did you purchase a domain mapping upgrade from WordPress.com? If so did your domain mapping upgrade expire? http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

  Yes, i did purchase a domain mapping upgrade from WordPress.com, but my Domains page tells me my subscription doesn’t expire until 30 August.

  Did you purchase the domain name from somewhere else and then purchase domain mapping from WordPress.com to map an existing domain?

  No, my initial purchase was from WordPress.

  four-domains.org is only mapped here, not registered through us.

  It looks like your domain registration has expired, so I recommend contacting your registrar ASAP.

  thanks macmanx, you’re right, i did purchase the domain elsewhere.

  apologies to timethief and you for giving the wrong information earlier – i simply forgot that while i mapped with you, i didn’t also register with you.

  oh, now that my domain has expired, can i transfer it to wordpress?

  do wordpress domains have domain privacy?

  WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.
