😭 LOST MY SHOPIFY DOMAIN AFTER 4 YEARS… It Expired & Now a Spam Site HAS It!! 💔 Can Anyone Help Me Get It Back?

Hey y’all,

I honestly don’t even know where else to turn so I’m just gonna spill it here.💔 It's long

I’m a 30-year-old single mom with ADHD who has been stressed out to the max lately. Life’s been overwhelming, but I had started my small online boho baby boutique business (my shopify store) called: Baby Vibes & Co. back in March 2021 and it was truly my baby (not my literal baby, but the thing I poured myself into). I built it from scratch, taught myself everything, and was so proud I actually pulled it off!

Okay, so My domain (that this whole thing is about) WAS CALLED: babyvibeshop.com SINCE 03/2021, UNTIL THE DOMAIN EXPIRED AND I WAS DUMB AND SO OVERWHELMED AND STRESSED OUT WITH OTHER THINGS AT THE TIME THAT I DIDN’T REALIZE AND I LOST IT!!!! 😭😭

I spent years posting it everywhere: Reddit, Quora, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook groups, TikTok. My packaging, my business cards, my backlinks, my SEO… all tied to that domain.

Then a few months ago I noticed no sales. At first I thought “okay maybe it’s just slow.” ADHD brain 😵‍💫 But when I finally typed in my site online, I cried. No, I bawled. It wasn’t mine anymore!!! 😭

Someone snatched it right after it expired???! Now it points to some spammy gambling/lotto page in another language WITH NO CONTAXT PAGE???. NOTHING TO DO WITH BABYS OR TODDLERS OR MOMS!! 😡 Just gross. SO MAD AT MYSELF THAT I COULD EVEN LET THIS HAPPEN, I hate my ADHD, I hate that I couldn't even do one thing right!!

Now I’ve had to move to a temporary domain (babyvibes.shop) just so my store has a heartbeat, but all my old customers are still probably typing babyvibeshop.com and thinking I shut down or got hacked. My products, packaging, inventory, all stamped with the old site. It makes me sick to think of all that work being wasted.

I don’t have a big budget. Maybe $50 and even a few baby/toddler outfits if anyone can help me figure this out 🙏.

😭 Old domain(that I want back)👇 babyvibeshop.com
💔 New (temporary) domain I'm using for now: babyvibes.shop

Thanks for even reading this. I know it’s long, but I’m really upset , I'm not asking for some charity case for someone can just swing in and swoop me up, I don't know what to do, and hoping that maybe there is somebody out there who knows what to do, or who can help at all, 🙏😞 you can email me at: babyvibescoshop@gmail.com or dm me on Reddit.
