In July 2008, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] was preparing to assume the throne, he contacted the holder of Westarctica.com and asked to purchase back the domain, but the new owner's asking price was $5,000 he showed no willingness to negotiate. To combat the issue, he purchased Westarctica.org instead and established a brand new website under that domain. However, by late 2009, Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence had failed to renew the registration in a timely manner and Westarctica.org was also grabbed up by a domain parking service. | In July 2008, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] was preparing to assume the throne, he contacted the holder of Westarctica.com and asked to purchase back the domain, but the new owner's asking price was $5,000 he showed no willingness to negotiate.
