It came to my attention today that a domain name I had registered in 2006, itiesolutions.com, has been re-registered by a domain squatter. This person apparently picked up the domain the same day I had let it expire.
While I'm dissapointed I let the domain expire, fair's fair and it was my bad. I never made any use of the website, though I had intended to use it for my consulting business (of the same name). I had completed many successful consulting contracts while trying to build a name for myself, but then took positions in industry that required my full time and efforts. So I didn't need the website anymore.
What disturbs me, though, is that the new registrant is hosting an identical copy of my website, including my name, business name and business logo... with the additional of several links to sites promoting online gambling and drug purchases.
As the domain comes up in a search for my name, I felt it prudent to address this matter here.
Be it known: itiesolutions.com is no longer owned, maintained, or associated with me in any way. Cease and desist letters have been sent to the domain registrant, the domain registrar, and the hosting company. Hopefully appropriate action will be taken.
