Don't expect domain registration fees to go down any further. The way it works is that Verisign, who has been granted the license to manage the master domain name registry for .com and .net, charges all other registrars $6 per domain year. I'd find a registrar selling for $8 or $9 per year, like GoDaddy and renew the name for many years. (GoDaddy also offers managed DNS with domain registrations, so it's a pretty good deal.)The reason your domain went black wasn't a conscious decision by any ISP to not route to audioasylum.com - it's simply a matter of how DNS works. When the name registration expired, the records pointing to audioasylum.com's name servers were deleted from the root .com servers. Since you have your TTL ('time to live', or caching time) set at 1 hour, any cached records for www.audioasylum.com, audioasylum.com, etc. expired on most outside DNS servers after just 1 hour. Some ISPs have their caching DNS servers set up to not honor the TTLs, or else they set a minimum on the TTL to 1 day, so the IP addresses for the AA may have persisted a bit longer at these ISPs.
If your IP addresses aren't changing that often, it would probably be a good idea to raise the default TTL on the main records to at least 1 day.
