Here's what happened-- not too pleased with GoDaddy. We had the domain set to autorenew every 2 years. The card # was no longer valid (one of the frequent instances where banks randomly send out new credit cards and invalidate old ones to keep ahead of fraudsters?). The amazing thing is that GoDaddy sent the notice that the billing failed at midnight last night. And parked the domain. No grace period. All of the doma…

Why is rescuetime.com still parked then?

Once you have established your online startup is viable you need to get professional help with IPR, DNS and CDN.

- CSC to hold your domain (https://www.cscglobal.com)

- UltraDNS for your nameservers

- Akamai for your static content

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm guessing they had it on auto-renew but didn't have a valid credit card registered with godaddy (i.e the card they registered with expired) or something.

Godaddy told me that you get a week of uptime after the first declined auto-renewal charge.

That is absolutely false. Domain expiration date for RescueTime.com was the 14th (yesterday). This AM I did a gmail search for "GoDaddy RescueTime" and the only thing they sent me regarding this was midnight last night when they shut it off. I have dozens of recent automated emails from GoDaddy and also checked my spam folder just to make sure my anger wasn't unfair.
