    How bad could the bill have been? Was there any prior mention of server costs/donations before this?

      I don’t think it is a payment issue. At least in Brazil (where I live), a registration (which can be done directly with the .br registrar, not necessarily third parties) costs less than 10 USD a year.

      vlemmy.net was registered less than 2 months ago, for 5 years. I suppose (hope) it was already paid for 5 years.

      it’s strange that it’s parked at a dynamic dns service though

        I know I’ve forgotten to turn on auto-renew on a domain before. It sucks and caused a lapse. I think most registrars have a cooldown period where you can pay a fee to get your domain back before they release it back into the general pool. It’s usually like 90 days or something.
