The domain expired without them realizing it (our domain and our hosting package were supposed to be tied together, but for some reason the domain expired before our hosting package, and no one was paying attention). Someone else snapped it up right away, and held it ransom for $5,000 for five or six years. Apparently he either lost it or sold it, though, because it's now for sale by someone else.
