  Hi there,

  I’m sorry to hear that you missed renewing your domain. Please confirm if the domain that you are trying to restore is: stylesmorgasbord.com.

  Hi there,

  stylesmorgasbord.com expired on 14 September, and has already been completely removed from our systems. It’s currently pending deletion at the registry, so it’s no longer possible for us to get that domain back for you.

  Usually once a domain enters the pendingDelete phase, it gets released after a few days, at which point you’ll be able to register it again as a new domain. But keep in mind that if someone else registers it before you’re able to, they’ll become the new owners, and you won’t be able to use that domain again.

  Hi, I just noticed when I go on my site, I am able to see my site once again. Previously, I was not able to do so. Do you know why this is? Does someone else own my domain now?

  Hi there,

  It appears that your domain DNS records are correctly pointing to your site. However, your domain is no longer under your control and if you want to take it back, you can contact the company that owns it. According to public records, the domain is now owned by NameBright.
