Hello, leibseele, & welcome. Actually, this looks to be a number associated w/Automattic, which is wordpress.com, as opposed to this forum, which is for self-hosted WordPress sites. Please check in with:
http://www.wordpress.com/support
& click the ‘Get Help’ link. Perhaps it’s as simple as needing to pay a bill. I suspect that, actually.
HTH. Please let us know if not, or conversely, reply & mark as ‘resolved’ if it does.
It’s GoDaddy

Hello, @sterndata. Perhaps I should’ve looked at the dns instead of the phone number on the down site, but the phone number, from what I was able to gather, seemed to be associated w/Automattic.
On the site it says:
“If you own this site, please call customer support at (877) 273-3049.” & this is the number given in Automattic’s contact info. So–yeah–that’s weird!
It’s possible that the domain is redirected at GoDaddy to WordPress.com.
If that is WP.com,they should give a non-toll-free number for those who may not be calling in the North American calling area.
@sterndata, you’re right, of course. That was my exact thought when I googled the phone number & determined that it was evidently Automattic’s contact info.
I’m not sure–what happens if someone buys a premium theme from Automattic? Does the site go down if they don’t renew or what?
