Site Down Again, Help Or Suggestions?

tansqrx
I’m starting to get a complex because my site, ycoderscookbook.com is down again. I hate to SPAM the forums like this but I have a support ticket submitted and have not head anything in three days. From what I am seeing, the Gamma server is up but for some reason the DNS is not resolving to the domain. Ycoderscokbook.com has been down since Friday.

Perhaps one of the admins can look into this for me wink.gif I know that BuffloHELP was very nice after the server migration and pulled a few strings. I have the feeling that the DNS entry got yanked and that is the reason that the site is dead once again.

Mine was off last week as well.

What works for me is going to Support, posting a detailed support request, then opening up a live chat window and ask for immediate help, referencing the ID of the request.

It took 2 chats, but my DNS issue was fixed about 10 minutes after the second chat. wink.gif

Mich the omnipresent... biggrin.gif Whenever I've logged into the Live Support system, I've found Mich.. day or night.. the dude just doesn't sleep... or eat... or have a life in general xD or, maybe it's multiple support personnel chatting under the same nick...

Anyway, it's most likely due to the Nameserver issue.. sometime back the normal hosting account nameservers were changed to:

  • ns.computinghost.com (notice the missing '1' after ns)
  • ns2.computinghost.com


Earlier on for everyone the NS had to be ns1.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com.

My wife's blog MindChimes had the same problem and it was suffering frequent downtimes over 2-3 days. Logging into the domain control panel and changing the NS record fixed the problem within 3-4 hours.

You should do the same.. if your domain's from Xisto, head over to www.xidomains.com - or else whomever your domain control panel is hosted with.

Cheers,
m^e

30 minutes on from your post and the site works fine for me. Maybe the DNS resolved in those 30 minutes, but else if it isn't working for you then I suspect the problem is something local. Nice site, by the way. wink.gif

Also, happy birthday to m^e. biggrin.gif

Trap17 hosting members experienced hosting down time yesterday for few hours. I'm wondering if this is the "after-shock" from yesterday.

Gamma server is for all free web hosting server for AstaHost and Trap17. What happens in Trap17 can relate to AstaHost and vice versa.

I know it's frustrating. All we can do is someone can get it straight quickly enough.

Actually about 5 minutes after I talked to “Mich” I tried again and got another tech. I told him that I was talking to Mich and explained my problem again. This time the problem was resolved very quickly. Apparently the DNS entry was removed again and once it was corrected the site was back up within 30 seconds.

I have learned that live support is the way to go and if you don’t get a solution on the first try just keep bugging them.

    This is the error that Google gives me while i try to verify my site. NOT VERIFIED We've
    detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (OK) in the header. The
    explanation for this error at google is: This configuration presents a security risk for site
    verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web server is configured to
    return a status of 200 in the header of 404 pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this

    personally. This may be a simple mistake somewhere, but I am very confused and frustrated. I found
    this site, built up about 20 credits, and applied for a basic site (cost, 10 credits). Over the
    couple days it took the site to be approved, I continued posting and got up to somewhere over 30.

    I'd be greatly appreciate it.....
