Jim Alfredson Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 My initial idea of why the site wasn't working was true... the domain name expired and had not been reset. All should be fine now. I apologize for the inconvinience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 So do some ISP servers (or whatever they use) update (or whatever it is they do) a list of active domain names more regularly than others? Is that why some people could get on and some not, even though your domain name expired? Teach me, 'cause I don't know how this stuff works. Please! And you're lucky - I keep hearing about these predatory types who swoop in and snap up expired domain names in a flash and then "hold them hostage". Glad that all is well.

Chuck Nessa Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I wish I could get nessa.com from the "broad" named Vanessa who owns this address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm not sure but I think some people might've been able to get on because their computer or their browser stores the IP address along with the domain name instead of relying on the domain name server to supply the IP address. Maybe. I'm not sure. As far as people snatching up expired names... it used to be a problem but now most places give you up to 30 days after the expiration date to renew before they release the domain into the public. By that time you should notice something is wrong (like we did today). This site is setup to be automatically renewed but I guess my server guy changed banks and thus credit cards and forgot to update the information with the DNS people. We just happened to be the first website on his servers that expired this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I wish I could get nessa.com from the "broad" named Vanessa who owns this address. is nessarecords.com taken too? that seems to be the usual "next best" choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I wish I could get nessa.com from the "broad" named Vanessa who owns this address. You can back-order it. If she fails to renew it you can snatch it up. Go to Network Solutions to get details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 By the way... these small problems aside, the company I'm using to host this site is very good, friendly, good customer service, and low prices. I think Network Solutions charges something like $35 to register a domain name. The Chain (my hosting company) charges $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Same for me. Oddly, the iMac I use at work had no problems, but then I came home and every PC on campus that I tried wouldn't connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 We're all in it for the post count, be honest! I had problems on Monday, 10 p.m. CET and gave up three hours later. I use Opera and didn't try IE. This morning everything was fine again. I never imagined how much I would miss this board, especially with my BT guesses ready for posting!

king ubu Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Back on topic: I had some problems, too, yesterday. At noon I could log in (not in the morning), and somewhen late night I was out again. The funniest thing was: I could get to the site by replacing ".org" with ".net", but then I could not log in. And I was still listed in the active users list for some time. So I was standing there, unable to log in and post, and see, I AM still logged... speak of multiple personality... ubu B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
