NASA “Mohawk Guy” Bobak Ferdowsi successfully lands his .com

Bring on the Curiosity jokes: it took longer than a trip to Mars, but Bobak Ferdowsi, JPL engineer for NASA missions has finally landed his full name as a .com.

It was August 2012 when the JPL mission to Mars successfully landed, making Bobak Ferdowsi an instant celebrity.

Due to his mohawk hairstyle, emblazoned with NASA and JPL insignia, everyone pointed him out as the “Mohawk Guy“.

When Bobak’s full name was released, some asshat domainer registered BobakFerdowsi.com and eventually put it up for sale at GoDaddy.

GoDaddy falsely lists this domain as 'for sale'.

GoDaddy falsely lists this domain as ‘for sale’.

That’s exactly the epitome of cybersquatting that gives a bad name to domain investors.

Yesterday, we contacted Bobak, after realizing that the domain name had dropped; after a brief communication with the JPL engineer who is active on social media such as Twitter, we pointed him to the direction of Name.com – one of the top domain name registrars, per our recent phonecall responsiveness test update.

Bobak Ferdowsi thus promptly registered BobakFerdowsi.com for the next three years, per our advice, and for our deed of kindness we’re now invited for a show-around of the JPL facility near Los Angeles. 😀

It’s interesting to note that BobakFerdowsi.com still appears as ‘available to purchase’ for $500 at GoDaddy’s TDNAM; this was another reason we pointed Bobak Ferdowsi to the direction of Name.com.

Congratulations, Bobak, and our best wishes for many more successful missions with NASA.
