Did Rolling Stone let its domain expire?

Visitors to RollingStone.com were surprised a few days ago when instead of seeing the popular magazine’s website, they were greeted with a generic “coming soon” landing page. The website is now back up, for but some time people speculated that Rolling Stone forgot to renew its domain. What happened?

Luckily for the magazine, the domain had not expired and is actually registered through next September. The issue was most likely a DNS glitch. Regardless of the cause, Rolling Stone most likely lost a good bit of money from this slip.
