Someone in the Zoom company management forgot to update the billing credit card for that domain, I bet you $1000. Happens all the time with our clients.

The entire point of MarkMonitor is that won't happen.

They don’t use normal registrations. Anyone with any size is using MarkMonitor and do monthly billing and have a dedicated person. No credit cards.

Except while it probably wasn’t a credit card expiry it did result in the domain being suspended. Looks pretty bad for MarkMonitor. They didn’t do the “monitor” part of their name.

I don't think the domain was up for renewal this year. Even if it were, it wouldn't expire until the 23rd.

I wonder how long mark monitor would keep renewing the domain without payment...
