<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Joanna!<br>
<br>
We tried to help with retrieving another Gaia victim's domain but
theirs was not in their name so they had no recourse. As long as
your domain isn't private, you can see the owner and admin email
by entering the domain here:<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.internic.net/whois.html" target="_blank">https://www.internic.net/whois.html</a><br>
<br>
If you are the domain owner, you should ultimately be able to get
the domain back but it may take some time. Gaia is a top level
registrar, right under ICANN, so you could try contacting them. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/customer-support-2015-06-22-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/customer-support-2015-06-22-en</a><br>
<br>
It would probably be a good idea for someone to organize a class
action suit, then you'd have more leverage with ICANN.<br>
<br>
This will probably take time so I do think you should register a
new domain. We offer domain names for $12.95/year.<br>
<br>
As far as the website, if it's an HTML site or a WordPress site
with admin access, we should be able to retrieve it without having
access to the Gaia control panel, and we'd be happy to host you
for free for the first three months. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Sam<br>
