OT - Is anyone getting a DNS error...

[Martyn]

...when they click here:

http://www.britishblades.com

The site is offline for me, and I was wondering whether it's something to do with my ISP, or whether it's offline for everyone. If it's the latter, I need to sort it ASAP.

Thanks.

 

[Tony]

it's been off line for ages host problem

 

[Martyn]

Thanks Tone. I was worried about that.

I've no idea why. I guess I'll have to jump on my host for support.

 

[Tony]

good luck :-D

 

[Martyn]

Thanks. Problem is, all my email addresses are based on my domain, so while it's down, I aint got email either. I just checked another domain I own that points to the same server, that's recording a DNS error too, so it looks like a definite problem with the host.

I keep my email and host seperate. :-D

 

[Martyn]

I did for a while. But when I got BT broadband, and consequently, no email facilities with the account, just the connection, it seemed logical to use my domain's email facilities rather than a 3rd party account. Ahwell. It doesnt happen very often. What worries me though, is if it's a genuine DNS problem, propogation through the DNS servers can take days. So even if I get it fixed in the next 30 minuytes, Britishblades might be offline for 3-4 days as the fix propogates through the DNS servers. :-x

scratch that, we're back in business. :-D :-D :-D

damn, that was fast, I only submitted the support tickety about 20 minutes ago.

Whew.

I'll say this about my host, support is first class - always has been.
