You can petition ICANN if you lost a domain that you paid for. As long as you are the rightful owner it will be returned to you. Keep a active credit card on file with your registrar and keep a credit with them as well. All the horror stories I see are cases where someone stops paying.

As long you can prove you are the rightful owner. Sometimes that's much easier said than done, especially to a particular burden of proof they might require to pull the domain away from someone actively using it.

Was running a multi hour deploy. Only minor features, so low risk.

Everything broke with our biggest client.

After a massive scramble it turned out our clients certificate had expired, in middle of the deploy.

  So our system could no longer talk to them.

Whoops

It's going to be a lot easier for Google to do that to get blogspot.in back versus if I were to do it.
