I think if a new album is coming, the site will be (or might be) back. What do you think?

I would say maybe - they might use another web address instead, or develop an app. Though I'm more sure about there being new music; hopefully an album!

imho, my gut instinct says 'no'. however, it may return just not in the way we imagine or has been. in some ways the Trio run a tight ship and very business savvy, in others i feel they just fumble around in the dark with a dodgy flashlight, getting a few things right yet doing so many things weirdly (i don't want to say wrong perse).
I feel we may see information re new releases sooner through her facebook page rather than her website. cheaper, and reaching out to a far wider audience.

They may be spending time and money on figuring out the best way to be able to catch the attention of the current 20 and 30 somethings. We may not even see CDs if they release something.

I'm going to hope for a physical release, such as a CD, because I am Officially Old and prefer my music in hard form.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they've retired. There's a point you just want to sleep in and move on. Can't imagine anyone with marketing sense and experience would let their domain name go if they intended to remain a viable presence in the music world.

I think enya.com has a slight chance of coming back, or they might return with another domain name. Not a definite 'yes' nor a definite 'no' (but new Enya music should be on its way! ) Comments on what others mentioned
- An app sounds interesting! Just some ideas, might it be one big app or lots of little ones under a mini Enya brand? Perhaps a continuation of the Loxian Games, or some new games. ๐ฎ
- It might seem to take ages for updates, and perhaps even longer than the previous wait of 7 years, but 2015 honestly doesn't feel all that long ago. Their pace was already slow, and it's probably not going to get quicker at their ages, but that's okay. As long as they live, I doubt that they'd ever give up with the music that easily. They are remarkably persistent, and also manage to do something innovative in their new releases too. They didn't update the studio equipment over lockdown for nothing, of course they'll have some new recording to share! - Social platforms are probably easier to run than the website, yes, and there are still occasional posts on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram. However, they could do with a slightly more active media team, but also people who won't aimlessly try and promote her music as if it needs to be 'trendy' either. It's more about letting her music be played mainstream without letting it get too associated with the typical mainstream music now. Unless some major (long-term) shift in mainstream taste occurs in the future -The best thing is for Enya's music to remain widely accessible: continue with the physical copies; keep streaming options, and generally let it be heard by a vast audience. They're doing well with the use of Enya's music in TV shows and films, with the recent one being a Marvel film. If on radio these days, they only ever seem to play Orinoco Flow, a song which I love, but wish they still played more of Enya's songs. Her new music better get more airplay at least. Even as a young person, I'd quite like them to carry on with physical copies (CDs at least) rather than for all to be digital purchases. ๐ฟ๐ถ - They are good with business, but they are allowed take things easy too! I think their unusual balance is just part of their unique way of working - not something to be changed, but part of the magic!! Enya herself is just a master of balancing seemingly opposite traits and skills. The trio are notably consistent, but they'll also pleasantly surprise us with every new release.

On the anniversary of the closing of Unity, Enya.com had been down and parked on Go Daddy. Recently it was marked as for sale at $25,000. It is now marked as being parrked again. Either the trio have come to their senses or someone has bought it, and for that price would be daft in the extreme to level down.

As RichardF mentioned in the shoutbox, Moto Tours has bought enya.comโฆ Enyaโs Facebook site still shows the domain as the official website.

This Moto Tours website template that appears when enya.com is searched gave me some interesting ideas, including the company behind these which I almost mistook it for, haha. ๐ฃ๏ธ It does still say on various domain lookup websites that enya.com is owned by GoDaddy (and it does say 'Powered by GoDaddy', at the bottom of the Moto Tours page, so still linked). On this site when enya.com was searched, it said that it was last updated on the 6th of October, at 1:10 UTC/GMT, so a few days ago. I was also thinking that maybe this 'Moto Tours' company is made-up, and the design could just be a template for now , while the real enya.com is getting prepared to add content for a new Enya album.. ๐ช. (The trio have probably got other more important aims, hopefully something like writing and recording music for the new album ๐)

ATM, Enya.com is back to the GoDaddy "parked" page! I wonder what will be there tomorrow morning? Currently unavailable at 5.30 am BST.

True, now it seems unavailable/the page can't be reached. I only saw that Moto template yesterday, although I didn't get a screenshot of the page, only a tab. One domain lookup website still says last updated 6th October, and others on 26th May - perhaps these haven't been updated with changes yet. Also a section on enya.com (enya.com/shop) also seemed to be working yesterday (12th Oct. about 10-11pm BST when I saw the 'Moto Tours' page). It is interesting if there is some sort of website reconstruction going on, haha ๐ก

I just realized that I have a full screenshot of the site. (Somehow my iPad saved a screenshot of the entire website when I took the previous screenshot) Here it is if anyone is interested:
