I paid for my domain AND webhost and now my site is GONE!!!!

http://www.moonport.org

I NEED IT BACK!

MY DOMAIN WAS STOLEN!!!

I did a WHOIS lookup and found it registered by someone else!

I PAID FOR THE DOMAIN NAME WHEN I GOT THE EMAIL TELLING ME IT WAS DUE!

Now, this domain is not some small little domain, THIAS DOMAIN WAS #3 IN GOOGLE FOR THE NASA MOONPORT SPACE FACILITY and also the ORBITER SPACE FLIGHT SIMULATOR! (Third only to NASA itself)

If I don't get this domain back within 24 hours, someone will be taking a trip to court with a nice heavy lawsuit on their back.

Yeah, I just noticed the server name at the bottom.

But, why? Usually when a domain is renewed, it doesn't change ownership like this. And since Moonport.org is a high level site, it's a prime target for hijacking if it expires even for a small amount of time. My old domain I had was also popular and my old host let it expire even after I paid for it. It is now a porn site.

Unless Serge grabbed the domain to prevent this sort of hijacking. If so, that is good. But I wish I'd be told first before this happens and not come in here in a blind panic.

When domain name was renewed there was a short period between renew and end of the lasty term of registration.
As a result our company info was set up for your domain name up to renew.
If you need to set another info for this domain name just tell it to me and I'll do it for you.
