  My web-site with CloudFloor DNS contract domain name http://www.cambsnhw.org.uk and designed using you 2010 Theme appears to have been hijacked illegally by a rogue posting by a person name LOUIS on 2 April 2021. This is causing great concern to Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood Watch members and to the police.

  That domain was registered earlier this month. If it wasn’t you or anyone in your organization who registered it then it looks like you must have let the domain expire (by many months). The domain name then isn’t hijacked. It was released and someone else duly purchased it.
