Hi, I'm new to the subject of domains so need some help understanding.
I had a dot net domain but it expired. The redemption fee was twice as much as using snapnames so I registered with snapnames to drop catch it. I was successful and the name was grabbed into an Enom account. I could log into enom and see my domain. When I checked the whos it was showing as domain privacy with enom registered for 12 months from the catch date. I assumed the domain would be safe for 12 months
I was unable to access my online accounts for some months. I just logged into my enom account and the domain is not there. The whois still shows the same info as when the domain was catched.
I checked my email and there was a message from enom saying that 'DNS hosting' would expire if I did not respond.
What has happened to my domain?
What is the difference between DNS hosting and registration?
Who owns my domain now?
How do I recover my name?
