I just read Boris Kraft’s post on losing the the Magnolia.info domain. I have had that happen to me (for a personal site) but never with these consequences. If they can’t get their domain back, they will move to magnolia-cms.com – which I think is a better domain anyway. A .com or .org is easier to remember (says the guy with a .net domain).
Best of luck to the Magnolia team in getting their website back and a reminder to everyone else that they should stay on top of their domain registration!

Seth, thanks so much for the blog entry. It would really help if you can link to our new domain http://www.magnolia-cms.com
We will try everything to get the old domain back; but we will stay with the new domain for all communication in the future. The amount of work to get this migrated is totally crazy, but my team is highly motivated and agile, and thus we were able to move quickly. Things are back to normal; it will just be hard to find us until Google has indexed us and we have enough link-love to up our ranking to where we were before.
Regards
Boris
By the way, we have the domain back, but we quite like our new domain, so we stick with it!
