    I bought a domain and hosting package from a seller on eBay last year. It expired this month, but they forgot to remind me. Now my domain doesn't exist :eek:

    This is the whois entry:
    Domain Name: DISCOROYALE.NET
    Registrar: ENOM, INC.
    Whois Server: whois.enom.com
    Referral URL: http://www.enom.com
    Name Server: DNS1.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS2.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS3.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS4.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Name Server: DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM
    Status: clientTransferProhibited
    Updated Date: 21-apr-2008
    Creation Date: 20-apr-2007
    Expiration Date: 20-apr-2009

    As I bought it over 90 days ago, I can't get much info on the seller. I have sent them a message through eBay, but I'm not sure how soon they will respond. Is there any way I can reactivate it?

    The domain is with NameCheap.com, so if you have the login details for their system you may be able to renew it still. The domain only expired on April 20th.

    Hi Blacknight, yes I remember that the hosting company was bigwetfish, I mailed them and they sent me an invoice so I can renew it. Panic over! But will I have to upload my files again, or are they held in cyberspace limbo?

    If it was only your domain that expired, you won't have to upload everything again. If your hosting expired as well, its unlikely that they would have removed everything so soon.

    Unless they're totally incompetent your files should be fine :)
