What is the name of your state? Oklahoma

I paid a guy to create and host my website in April of 2004. I prepaid 2 years of hosting. I never received an invoice for April 06-April 07, so I thought it was cool.

Now he's taken my site, which has about 2,000,000 page views a year, and is using it as his own. He's charging for advertising and has re-registered the domain name in his name. He was the one who registered it for me in the beginning? He claims it's a 'foreclosure' type situation and wants the site, or $10,000 to return it to me.

What the heck do I do, I can't lose that site. Can I sue? Is he obligated to invoice me? He answered tech support questions as recently as February 07 without asking for payment. Any ideas?
