closetojesus.org

Last February, (link) I decided to do what was necessary to reclaim my domain closetojesus.org. My domain had been hijacked by the web hosting company I was using. Thankfully, this dispute, which has gone on for many months, is now over.

Once again, I have control of closetojesus.org. Now anyone can access either closetojesus.org or closetojesus.net to get to this website. I am thankful to God that He has done this. In the process, he has taught me to be more patient.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord. — Psalms 27:14 (KJV)

EDIT: closetojesus.net is no longer available.

What happened?

I have been in a long-running dispute over control of my domain, closetojesus.org. It’s a long story and not quite finished, but the long and short of it is that my hosting company hijacked the administration of this domain.

I am in the process of getting it back. My strategy may not have been the right one, but it’s what I decided to do. I let it expire and am now waiting to claim it again (once it passes through the redemption period).

What now?

I purchased another domain, closetojesus.net. I have now put the closetojeus.org content up on the new domain. Once I get closetojesus.org back again, I will move the website content back to that domain and most likely point closetojesus.net to it as well. This may take up to 90 days.
