I am just confused

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

When I first started at WA, I chose a domain name that I thought could be a good fit for an online business. I started playing around with it on site rubix. Then I signed up for premium, I purchased a different domain name to satisfy the training requirement. I was told to start with one site at a time. Keep focusing on one site until you master it, so I was told.

Now that I am getting comfortable with putting a site together. I decided to go back to start with my older site that I started about a yr ago. To find out the domain name had been sold and the asking price now is $ 50000.

The funny thing is the site is still up in WA. How come someone else own it? True I did not pay for it, but doesn't it still exists under my name? Wasn't I supposed to have a warning that the site is about to expire or something?
I was under the impression that the first 2 sites were mine to keep.
