Hamleys, a UK toy retailer, temporarily lost its website because its domain name was not renewed. Customers trying to visit Hamleys.com were directed to a holding web page by Network Solutions, the registers for the website, which displayed advertisements for rival toy companies. When clicked, the advertisements took customers to websites such as John Lewis, Amazon, and Argos. According to a company spokesperson, the domain name has now been renewed, and Hamleys.com is accessible again.
