Looks to me like he didn't re-register. Someone probably immediately purchased it when it expired hoping to make a quick buck selling it back to him. It's called Domain Squatting. That really sucks, happened to one of my websites once.

The website is not for sale, it is just down right now due to some
mistake made by the domain host.

Please spread the word, and I will get site back up as soon as the
Domain Name Host gets off their asses.


It'll be back up soon.

I was worried that was going to happen to tibathon.com this morning.

I got an email reminding me my domain was about to expire.

When I woke up this morning I thought for some reason today was the day it expired....needless to say I drove to work VERY quickly (home comp. is getting fixed).

luckily, I had 27 more days tongue.gif
