My first domain “expired” in an unexpected way after 18 years. I got a .eu.org because I believed that eu.org would be more stable than a commercial provider. I used the same not-for-profit DNS provider until they were commercially acquired and the parent company shut down the old nameservers. Now I’m locked out: eu.org does not respond to inquiries for switching nameservers, and my account predates the auth system. While my phone number is the same, auth reset does not work with phone. It would have been fun to retain the same domain forever, but stuff breaks, people die, and things crumble.
