Yup, looks to have expired. These things happen but you'd think they'd have taken a little more care....

I'm sure they'll be back as soon as they pay their renewal fee with their registrar.

Reading a thread on their forums, they are aware of it and seem to be dealing with it...

But according to this: http://www.whois.sc/directadmin.com

It's up for auction :|

EDIT: It just redirects to snapnames, one of those domain sniping sites, if you want to place a "bid". As they've obviously asked for it to be renewed you won't get very far with that

Indeed, but didn't MS let hotmail.com expire a while ago? Things do get overlooked from time to time I guess

Or perhaps they just paid the renewal fee....

These things happen, and please renember guys it takes more than a day or so (or however long it was offline for), for the domain to fall into RGP/ RHP, so no chance of anyone getting it on snapnames....

And yes, Microsoft have let passport.com, msn.com and hotmail.co.uk (which was caught by one of the forum members), in the past.

Directadmin.com

I gather the registrar had charged and been paid for the domain but the renewal hadn't taken place.

Still 1st class software IMHO.
