  Why will my automatic yearly domain renewal cost $26? I just noticed this when looking into purchasing the no-ad update, saw this info (pasted below my question). The previous page I had just been on stated it was lower – I think $18?

  Domain: loopbraider.com
  Domain Registered with WordPress.com

  Status: Active

  This upgrade will be renewed automatically in 2 months on November 4, 2013

  $26.00
  USD per year
  $0.07 per day

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

  Hi there, your domain is a private registration, so the cost is $26 per year. A private registration hides your contact details from the public domain database. You can read more about public vs. private domains here:

  If you want to remove the privacy option so that your contact details are visible in the public domain database, the price will then be $18.

  You can do that under Store > My Upgrades, by clicking “Cancel Private Registration”:

  Just let me know if you need further help.
