Yes, it's still registered under Angelo Mandato (is he available to
fix this?), but it's DNS records point to 68.178.232.99, which is just
a GoDaddy parked domain server. This would indicate that the DNS was
reset on the domain at some point possibly.

That second step was the only thing keeping me from setting it up as
an official virtual host. There's no extra cost on changing my
existing DNS settings, and I've done so now if you would like to add
it.
