There are red-faces at the Motley Fool today after its UK site disappeared because it failed to re-register its UK domain.

A statement by the humorous financial site reads: "Our apologies for the recent problems you may have had if you tried to access our site over the last few days.

"Here's the reason why. It was a boob on our part as we allowed the registration of the name "fool.co.uk" to lapse," it said.

Thankfully, the Fool managed to re-register the domain before anyone else. Phew. ®
