jonsturge.ca is live–now let’s kill his .com

It sure came in handy having some rough and ready web wrangling skills to help out my friend and associate Jon Sturge. Jon who hails originally from Newfoundland (as East you can go in Canada) has been part of the Bush Marketing team for a few years now. Jon did close to a year stint with us in Australia when he came over with my daughter Kaleigh.

During their residence with us we got so much done and had quite a bit of fun in the process. Jon did plenty of photography work for some of our best Bush clients including Rockpool, Green Cauldron and of course Cromwell Farms. During his stay we made a few attempts at making Jon a website of his own. Sadly we did not get this job across the line and a very sad and frustrating story followed. Jon’s orginal .com domain name was registered and then somehow it lapsed and was snatched up. Despite much effort we have not been able to retrieve it; however, where there is a will there is a way. We are proud to say that we secured JonSturge.ca and now there is a portfolio website preserving his good name and domain.

A word of caution to folks out their with domain names. Be sure you are the registrar. Don’t let someone who you don’t know well and trust register a domain for you. If you lose your domain name the amount of pain in getting it back will be far more then emptying your wallet. Read a bit about the experience Jon had on the Jon Sturge blog and if you need a hand wrangling your website back from evil forces give us a call.
