When I go to http://venicemediadistrict.org/ I am getting the following error message: Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
Does this mean that the hosting IP address has changed? Last summer I built a website for a non-profit organization. The hosting and domain accounts are owned by different people. I am awaiting an email with the login info for the hosting (I already have the domain info), so I can't investigate any further yet. I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this or knows what might be the cause of the problem. It is hosted on a Godaddy account. |

I think that that error message means that no DNS servers point an IP address to the domain name. It could be a sign that:
1. The domain name has no attributed server with it (the domain isn't set up on any server/not set up properly) 2. It is registered but it isn't parked or being used. 3. That domain is getting wiped off the Internet  I did a WHOIS search for the domain name and came up with this information: QUOTE(whois.net) Domain ID:D105565820-LROR Domain Name:VENICEMEDIADISTRICT.ORG Created On:13-Jan-2005 19:07:27 UTC Last Updated On:29-Mar-2007 17:48:37 UTC Expiration Date:13-Jan-2009 19:07:27 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Go Daddy Software, Inc.

I don't know what is going on. Perhaps you should contact your domain registrar for more information. |

Maybe I will call them, but I will have to get the account number and pin and everything from the client. |
