xenforo.com expired

According to the who.is, the domain www.xenforo.com expired at midnight UK time. (about 3 hrs ago)

 

Oh wow haha.

 

It's still down...
I thought for sure it would of been renewed by the time I got up this morning..

 

Unfortunately, despite having the auto renew option selected, our domain name expired, which led to to the site being inaccessible for some.

All is back in order, although there may be a delay for some as the DNS updates.

Apologies to those who have been affected and with a little luck, not everyone will be affected.

good to see the site is back up for me now, it wasn't a few hours ago
also if my some stroke of bad luck this happens again, here is a temp fix.

 

Wow just Wow. Everyone makes mistakes but when you're entire business rests on a domain name you kind of make sure it's renewed for multiple years at a clip.

 

Or at least put in a calendar reminder into your smart phone... everyone has one right ?

 

True enough, but if you have auto-renew selected, you'd hope it'd actually renew it!

There's also a grace period of around 30 days depending on registrar to re-instate expired domains. While it doesn't look great it expiring, I've just discovered a few threads over on the namecheap forum with similar auto-renew problems.
