I feared the worst, thinking that my name had been sniped by domain squatters. But no! In fact, as I already knew was happening, my domain had expired, but was put on hold by eNom. I’m actually very happy with them since they re-registered my domain name for a year without even batting an eye. All I had to do was email them proof of my identity and pay for another year of registration. I’m still going to transfer to another registrar (Site5), but for now, it works.

Lesson Learned: Never use a shady but very cheap domain registrar like Registerfly.
