> Given that the registration record on Network Solutions' WHOIS shows a renewal date of December 5 for the usertrust.com domain, it is probably fair to assume that "something" went wrong in the renewal.
I think that the only thing that went "wrong" is that the contact-person for the domain ignored the "your-domain-registration-is-about-to-expire" E-mail (or that the listed contact-person no longer works for the company (or is on a long leave/vacation), and no Pointy-Hair-Boss thought to update the contact-information to point to the newly-hired replacement. So, when the registration expired, some "automation" kicked-in, and changed the registration-information to the values that you cited. Then, when DNS-caches flushed (Timt-To-Live expiry), and the owner of the domain could see the difference, a quick credit-card transaction kicked-off a "reversion" of the domain-registration, and reactivated it for a long time. In 10 years, I wonder if the current contact-person for the domain-registration will be retired/out-placed/moved-on/head-hunted. Moral of the story: check your domain-registration, more than once every 10 or 15 years! |
