I was browsing casually yesterday with no other thing to do when i came across this URL which took me to this medical related website.
There was nothing wrong with the web page, it wasn’t attractive but it wasn’t objectionable either. The thing which surprised me was the domain URL which is www.shahbazsharif.net.
First i thought, this website belonged to CM Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif as he is known for maintaining his online presence by his own name. Many of us know about his fan page on facebook which is https://www.facebook.com/Sharif.Shehbaz
Second thing that supported my belief was the medicine crisis that took lives of more than 100 innocent people in Lahore. “Perhaps, Mian Shahbaz Sharif has started his own pharmacy in order to provide clean and genuine medicine to the people of Punjab”, this is what i thought.
NO, this is not the case, although this website is about some medicine “Celexa Citalopram” but all the links on it take you away from the home page. Following is the domain information;
Domain Name: SHAHBAZSHARIF.NET
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Updated Date: 27-dec-2011
Creation Date: 07-oct-2002
Expiration Date: 07-oct-2012
Another domain name, Shahbazsharif.com is also registered through the same registrar with the following information
Domain Name: SHAHBAZSHARIF.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Updated Date: 23-mar-2011
Creation Date: 21-mar-2006
Expiration Date: 21-mar-2012
These web domains were registered back in 2001 and 2002 when Mian Shahbaz Sharif was facing exile. Why a foreign pharmacy would name its domain after a Pakistani political figure and pay almost a decade long registration fee. May be a die-hard fan of Mian Shahbaz Sharif or there is something else, who knows?
