Simple request - Jona Lendering - 08-11-2006

PLEASE ignore the following topic; the problem does indeed exist and I'm working to solve it.

Dear friends,

Today (Friday, 12.30 U.T.) our friend Christy Beall (Satsobek) pointed out to me that my website was inaccessible; and this was unfortunately correct. My host has forgotten to continue the registration of my domain; I had to make phone calls to the USA, and had to send faxes. At the moment (Friday, 21.30), things appear to be OK - sometimes. I can see the website, can change things, but sometimes I get error messages that ought not to be there. My friend Bill, the owner of LacusCurtius, says he can see it.

Here's my request: if you read this on Friday or Saturday, CLICK HERE. Do you see my website (something blueish)? Do you not see it? Please leave a message below.

Thank you very much!

Jona

I see something bluish. Keep in mind that once they activate you, you might get spotty service as your name populates outwards hitting more and more servers, it could take up to a week for the entire globe to be updated.

This may explain something - thanks. I live in blessed ignorance about the technical details, having had a spotless host for ten years.

I see it as well, Jona. Hopefully all better now. Smile

I get the impression that acces is better in the USA than in Europe; I can sometimes see it, but for the last two hours, it was not visible.

Re: Simple request - Magnus - 08-12-2006

I don't see it...as of Friday, 8:24 pm Eastern Time (Ontario, Canada) I get a site page that says your domain expired.

Re: Simple request - Jona Lendering - 08-12-2006

I just called the U.S. company that appears to own the right to distribute names (why didn't my own host never tell me?! :evil: ), and I am getting a clearer picture of the situation. I must now make a payment by credit card. Like most Europeans, I do not have a credit card. Fortunately, I have a financial partner, but here's another fine mess they've got me in...

Re: Simple request - Praefectusclassis - 08-12-2006

This is why I decided that I'd never ask my host to register domain names for me again. Get a creditcard (your bank will be too happy to give you one :wink: ) and transfer your site to an online service. Makes renewal MUCH easier.
But since you're now stuck with this: livius.org does not work for me now. If it indeed has reactivated, it must still be propagating.

Re: Simple request - satsobek - 08-12-2006

Yup me too (though I told you that in my recent email as well). I wouldn't worry TOO much though if some people can see it and others can't... that at least means the changes are propogating. When you makes changes like this, it always takes around 72 hours before everyone on the internet can see the same thing. Smile

I don't see it.

Ave Jona,

the view from Germany is not better than from foggy Britain - I see exactly the same page as Jim does.

Re: Simple request - Jona Lendering - 08-12-2006

Well, I have a problem, that's obvious. My financial partner will make some sort of payment tonight, which should mean that the site must be up and running again after the weekend.

Thanks for you assistance - I now known for certain that Friday's telephone exchange did not solve the matter...

Sorry, just a page from Network Solutions... :?

Still down - Caius Fabius - 08-12-2006

checked it again, and it is still not working.
Saturday 12 August, 2006 I guess the post will time stamp this.
