You think I’d know better, but it seems that I let the domain registration for Withywindle Books (withywindlebooks.com) lapse. To be honest, I thought it was on auto-renew, but apparently not as now it is owned by someone in Singapore. I’ve contacted them, but am not really hopeful that anything will get resolved soon.
So, I’m changing the domain for the bookstore to www.withywindlebooks.net. Even if I get my .com address back (some day…), this address will remain pointing to Withywindle Books (and yes, it is on auto-renew). The link in the main menu that goes to the bookstore should be pointing back at the bookstore soon – I’m hopeful we’ll be back up by tomorrow.
Has anyone else had the experience of having their domain snatched up when it’s lapsed? What was the result? Were you ever able to get your domain back? Any advice is welcomed.
