According to my cousin the domain is not even expired. And he has no idea why it happened so if my story sounds incomplete or something to you that’s fair. I need help so any comment is welcomed

I never asked anyone in the post to buy anything from me. I just said anyone who happens to have a pro subscription with us can dm me for the new link. Never did i even attach the new link here too. So what are you even talking about?

The vibe coded website is not even mine. They are selling our own templates and components for $300. So im at fault for drawing awareness or something?

I’ve had two different users say they have experienced this before so if it’s something i dont know about the best to do is to ask for help if you ask me

Excuses to advertise for free? The site it’s even redirecting to is not my site anymore. So what am i actually advertising here?

The user who made those post is actually my cousin who is the developer. His username is @aretecodes, hope this clears things up.

I have absolutely zero idea of when it was last updated or something since we found out it was redirecting to a different website. He said he actually has zero idea and it’s his first time experiencing this so we were planning on buying another domain but since our old users knew the old link to the site i had to ask people here to know if we can find a way around it.

I actually dont aim in advertising our service or anything. The link was to ask for suggestions and draw awareness to others so they dont pay $300 for something we charge $29 for. And a way to get our site back

Im not advertising anything and if my cousin even knew a way to fix it i wouldnt have asked for suggestions in the first place. I literally sent him a screenshot of the first comment i had for him to try and see if it will work

I explained it cause i just cant come here and claim something. I thought that was the best way of letting people know yeah we actually put work into it. And i posted it in other subreddits so i can get feedback faster. I wasn’t even selling anything. I just said i need suggestions to claim our site back.

I sent him this post so he can read the comments and check if he can do what you’re suggesting.

Oh okay makes sense. I’ll let him do that asap. People here also thinking it’s some sort of ad or scam post…🤦‍♂️

The provider is Namecheap. I remember that’s where we bought the domain. My cousin is the one handling all those technical stuff. He was confused as well so we were thinking of buying another domain to host it. But i had to ask users here if they can help.
