I apologize if there is a thread like this already.
I have been out of domaining for a while now and more into development. However, yesterday I was going through my accounts. I realized that a domain was missing. That account is connected with an email account that I no longer use. Therefore, I never got the warning messages. The domain ended up expiring and immediately going to auction where is it was sold.
This was a 500 dollar out of pocket mistake on my part and possibly more if an end user was found, simply because I did not update my email address.
I'm sure there are other domainers who this has happened to or some other event in life that caused them unable to renew the domain on time.
Because of my stupidity, I lost a 500 dollar domain name and cut my loss.
What was the highest amount that you paid for a domain that you accidentally let expire? Did you try to or end up getting it back?
