The site is back!
Woot! Woot!
We finally have our site back! Here's the brief story...
- The domain name was due for renewal on 27 April.
- It was registered with a company called Melbourne IT.
- I transferred the name to another company in early April.
- Melbourne IT didn't like to lose the business so they "locked" the domain, and let it expire.
- They then HIJACKED the domain, and put their own fucking ads on it!
- The company I transferred it to could not do anything until Melbourne IT went through their "transfer process".
- That transfer process has just finished (9 May).
- It seems that no amount of phone calls or email could get the transfer happening quicker.
- This seems to be a standard business practise for Melbourne IT - it happened recently to another domain I manage.
The moral of the story is: never use Melbourne IT they are arseholes.
