Disney’s Club Penguin domain name lapses
Disney was willing to pay up to $700 million for Club Penguin, but apparently forgot to renew its domain. Parents can’t be happy.
If you go to Club Penguin—like my daughter did—you may get an odd-looking Network Solutions page. It’s the page you get when you haven’t renewed a domain name. The page has been down for a good chunk of the day. CBS News reported that Club Penguin returned about noon, but a lot of folks still can’t get to the site. The outage has been widely reported on Club Penguin blogs such as the Club Penguin Insider.
I bet it didn’t seem like the happiest place on earth to the person responsible for this gaffe.
