    Just go to your control panel within 30 days and renew it.

    Contact eNom directly now and if the domain name is in redemption mode, pay them whatever they ask for to get the domain name back. Once you get it back, make sure you set it to auto-renew or the next time it comes to renewal, do not just ignore it.

    By not renewing, it would signify that you no longer want or interested in the domain name and once it expires, it may be out of your hands. It is like letting your housing lease expire and not renewing it.

    I feel for you.
    It happened to me once as well.
    Seems a domain broker bought it up right away and I never got it back.
    I contacted the new registrant and he tried to charge me an unreasonable price. He was a real a$$ about it.
    I had to register a similar name. Then i contacted Google and informed them that of the situation. At the time it ranked #1 in Google.
    It soon disappeared from the top position and my new domain showed up in its place.

    Don't let your domain name expire. It is best to renew them several months prior to the expiration or set it to auto-renew.

    If it is already registered by someone else, there is nothing much you can do.

    I believe you bought this domain on auction or website sale right? Because it does not make sense that you don't know who was eNom's reseller from where the domain was registered.

    How ever, you have 15-30 days time to renew the domain, after that the domain or will enter in grace period or it will be released for registration.
