In this situation, you can verify that you purchased the domain name through the correct platform and account. Many domain name investors now have accounts on multiple platforms, each of which has purchased numerous domain names. In this case, you need to first determine which platform and account your previously purchased domain name is under. If you've confirmed your purchase and still can't find it, it's likely that the domain name expired and was deleted because you forgot to renew it. If you can't remember when you purchased the domain name, you can check the domain name's registration and change dates using Whois information to determine if it's due to expiration.
