late fee

    Why do I have to pay a late fee? How can I just pay my regular $18 and have my blog back up?

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

    Hi there,

    Why do I have to pay a late fee?

    That would be because you ignored every renewal notice and allowed the domain to expire.

    Oh no! This domain graemegardiner.com expired 33 days ago!

    Have you read this? http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

    If you use a dictionary and look up what the word “expired” means you will understand your situation is that you don’t own a domain any more because you allowed it to expire. The domain name registrar you bought the domain name from now owns it and can do whatever they wish with it, including not selling to you again, auctioning it off or selling it to someone else or simply sitting on it. It’s not WordPress.com that has set any late charge. It’s the domain registrar who can set whatever fee they want for URL recovery.

    Thanks.

    I’ll just cancel it. No harm done.

    Thanks.

    I can help you with that.

    Just to clarify, if you want to cancel your domain graemegardiner.com it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and it may not choose to do so. We can’t guarantee that your domain will ever be available to you again once canceled. If you have any intention of using graemegardiner.com again in the future, I suggest that you do not choose to cancel.

    Please confirm that you understand and want to cancel your domain. Once you have done so, I will cancel it and remove the upgrade from your account.

    Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

    I do understand that.

    I can’t pay an $80 late fee though, so unless there are other options, that’ll have to be the one.

    I have canceled graemegardiner.com. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
