Lost one of my domains earlier this year. Everything is backed up so my content is safe - no worries there but I am thinking if possible I would like this domain back. I have

Hi Alex, usually a domain will take 30 days to come back to the marketplace and be "available" again.

If you just lost the domain then it may be in the "Redemption" period, but there is a $250+ (depends on the domain) charge to pull it back out of "redemption" which is 30 days or so. You can most certainly wait until it comes back to the market and purchase it for the normal price but it'll be 30 days at least. Or if you want us to look into pulling it out of redemption then we can.

I see I can hire a domain broker on Godaddy to possibly find out how much this would be to buy back but I am concerned with how much this might cost. I would be happy to wait but I guess it would give me some peace of mind if I have some idea about how to approach this situation.

Well - we can look into pulling it out of the redemption period for you if you like (send me a PM). But this comes with cost of about $250 - $275 we don't take any profit on that, we just pass that fee along to you. Or, you could find another domain that is similar and we can move to that.

Option 3 would be to wait, and try to get it on the open market for normal pricing but you run the risk of someone else getting it before you.

I've seen it where the registrar holds it and tells you its not available.

It becomes available within a month. It may be someone else has bought it

Is there a way to find this out if it has been bought. It is coming up in search on WA Site Domains but when I click it - it says unavailable.

How long before an expired domain becomes available again?

Hi, so my automatic renewal is not going through. I'm trying to pay with my credit card but it is saying my card number is invalid. What the hell?

My card has been declined for the following years subscription although I know there are funds in it.

Therefore, I have changed the card details; hopefully, this will go through.

Hi chiva86 , this could be 1 of many issues. As with me, unfortunately WA doesn't accept my type of card. I have to go through PayPal , after several declined attempts, I finally reached out to a representative who told me, after 3 declines "PP" considers the card invalid and you must wate 24 to 48 hrs for it to clear. I was actually "unwantingly" shutout of the WA program because I couldn't update in time. I don't blame WA, because I know it was "PPs" screw up. My only remedy was to go with a second card, with a new number. Of course there's lots of reasons yours may not be working. Hopefully this might give you some clues to work it out. Good luck 🤞 best wishes.

Contact your bank, as they may be blocking your payment for one reason or another. It can happen, and I get this frequently (in fact, I had this happen today with one transaction).

Contact your bank and let them know that you want to allow the payment to WA, and it should go through just fine.

Keep us updated Alex. ;)

Hello, this means that the card is not valid. The bank that issued the debit card has apparently blocked it. The expiration (expiry) date cVv or card number is invalid or the name on the card is not the name of the cardholder.

Contact the bank that issued the card if this an error or call the number on the back of the card that has the customer service phone if you don’t know the reason for this ( if this is a bonafice credit card registered in your name) They most likely will ask security questions for you to answer to verify your identity.

I have over 2500 comments - lots of them are spam. Kind of off putting going through - can anyone advice a plugin or something to stop these coming through. Ideally I would l

A fast way of going through them, which I use, is to open all pending comments and trash them if there is no avatar.

If that doesn't appeal, then look at the emails if it ends with.ru it is Russian and in my experience 100 percent spam

akismet and antispam bee are two popular ones....
i remember that anti spam had caused issues with sites in the past but should be ok now...
i hope you get it sorted....

I will try Askimet cheers

Update: I installed Askimet and I did a spam check. It has gone down for 2.5K to 192 comments

looking good - hopefully a solution....

Help with purchasing domain

Now I know what's going on - Enom LLC was affected by today's IT outages.

There was an issue with site domains earlier, and Kyle has escalated the problem - You couldn't get a domain name going; it showed an error.

What error are you exactly getting? What does it say on your screen?

Abie

Same thing is happening. 1st 2 times I was refunded. I've made another successful attempt to purchase the domain but after hitting the build my website button it is giving me an error and now again I have been refunded.
