We are still evaluating whether or not our website freeranger.com.au will be re-instated. It has been great tool for letting people gain an insight into how a genuine free range farm operates, but as all our sales are local and customers are able to see for themselves, it could be regarded as a needless expense for a small business.
Regular customers will be aware that our website has been invisible since our domain name was hi-jacked by someone wanting to use it to promote outdoor clothing. We notified the domain name registration body and now we may be able to reinstate our website. They have just notified us “We have investigated your complaint and determined that the domain name registration is in breach of auDA policy. As a result, the domain licence has been placed under a 30 day suspension. Following that, once a 14 day period has expired, the domain name will be permanently removed from the registry and will become available for registration.” If we go ahead and pay the registration cost, we will need to find a hosting service. We will be very wary as we have already been burned by two Internet Service Providers, Swoop Broadband and Ventra IP over this debacle. Our blog and Facebook page enabled us to maintain an on-line presence with no hosting fees.
