Did your domain expire because you didn’t have an up to date credit card on the account for renewal? That’s kind of what it sounds like. If so, that’s your own fault.

The post clearly says both a credit card and an alternate Paypal account were on their file and they even accepted the Paypal account to pay the fine.

Some people can't wait to victim blame every time these posts of obvious business stupidity come up.

How is this obvious business stupidity?

Domains go into a redemption period because they expire. Having a card or paypal on file is meaningless if you don't have auto-renew.

People lie. People lie all the time, and always spin the story to somehow make them the blameless victim.

I'm going to give my honest feelings too.

There's just too much superfluous information in the post that's not relevant to the problem. I don't care that OP uses Couldflare as DNS. I don't care what OP's email provider of choice is. I don't care he forgot about his GoDaddy account.

Also I think it's the government he should be complaining too, because it looked like GoDaddy reactivated his account for free.

Not saying GoDaddy is a good business, just stating that OP probably might not be as innocent as it seems.

This is purely an opinion.
