Unfortunately the provider he is going through doesn't seem to have an automated way of doing things and he was unable to talk to anyone on the phone. So it looks like things might be down until Monday :( Toby Claggy ID: 1359305 ·

But now it's been renewed, the DNS data will slowly migrate back (people usually say 'allow 24 hours'), and then the site will be findable again.
