The Knighthood behind this domain/website julianknight.com.au on 11th August 2025 received a dodgy backdoor threat via its hosting provider claiming that the registrar for this domain somehow couldn’t find an ownership link between Mr Julian Knight and the domain/website julianknight.com.au.
Seriously? What a furphy!
This is what the incoming email to us stated:
“This is in regards to the .au domain eligibility and verification case sent by the Registry (auDA) associated with julianknight.com.au.
As per the Registry, auDA is unable to determine from the information in the .au database or via any information on the registrant’s website that the registrant meets the allocation rules for their domain name.”
Note: auDA is the abbreviation for au Domain Administration, being the monopolistic Australian not-for-profit organisation responsible for administering all .au domains (like julianknight.com.au.
Hey, so next day after the crap email hoax of 11th August 2025, we The Knighthood had Julian Knight’s name registered as a business with ASIC…
We are well aware of the real reason for that dodgy domain complaint. It was no fake complaint about domain ownership, rather in reality some dude has simply disagreed with come content on this website, but tried a backdoor officious complaint route.
Whatever! Slimy worm. Must be from some media notoriety figure. How cowardly? The Australian domain authority was a tad circumspect, but we were on the them and the anonymous complainant from the outset – since bullies don’t like being bullied back themselves.
Well a week later, after some distractive email exchange, by 21st August 2025 we received a closure email from auDA itself, thus:
“auDA Case: 00117579 ref:!OOD6F02VqSL.!500RFOSzom9:ref Domain Name(s): julianknight.com.au
We advise the following:
-
-
- issues with domain name appear to have been resolved

If the complainant requests an internal review of decision made, Domain Directors Pty Ltd trading as lnstra will advise you.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. We will not be taking any further action.

So what a distractive effort all that was!
We suspect the usual suspects (a media columnist desperate to think he’s are some sort of public hero) behind this censorship attempt – bloody coward punch!
