   My domain is currently coming up as a for sale domain on GoDaddy. I have used it for over a year and am not sure what's causing the issue.

   The blog I need help with is anoutofthewayplace.com.

   Domain registration is an annual charge and domain names need to be renewed with the Registrar - there is also domain mapping to map a custom domain name to your blog.

   It looks like you did not renew the domain name and someone else has squatted on it - did you both renew the domain name and domain mapping?

   I have flagged this for the staff to help

   Thank you for the help. It was my understanding that domain name and mapping was included when I renewed my WordPress Value bundle in December (prior to it's expiration date). Also, as my blog was still up and active until a couple of days ago it seemed everything was fine and I don't understand why it would go down now. If I need to take some other action that you know of please let me know.
