Excellent job as usal guys!
No worries Ollie, I checked and your personalised NS are working fine.
Thanks for doing the blog & the tweets Tim – totally prevents panic at this end if you’re aware of what’s what. Hope hydra & firestar play nice all the way

All seems fine from this end, sat here up in Liverpool using a 2meg Orange ADSL broadband line & getting our site just fine, quarter past 4 in the wee smalls. Subjectively seems as if there’s a pretty huge increase in speed? Pages seem to be loading TONS quicker here now
You’re on a 1gbit connection now so maybe that has something to do with it.
Hey guys,
Are there any issues existing ? 99% of the sites I have checked so far are ok, but a few are having issues, 1 it only works if you do http://www.dom.ext not dom.ext, another seems totally dead.
I’ve just refreshed the nameserver settings incase its that

Hey Steve, DNS issue. You can flush your DNS cache, you can also change your dns servers on your computer to the ones for http://www.opendns.com/ – it’s pretty much instant.
Hey Tim,
I changed ns a few times and checked whois, flushed the cache etc, and one of them corrected the need for www, but neither fixed the dead domain. I have just hunted my netbook and mobile dongle down and the dead site is live but not available to my PC. I wonder why out of dozens of names just these 2 go funny ?
I wish I could use opendns but my ISP sucks, I can’t even use port 25 yet alone change the NS, well I can change them but then I get no access
Hi Steve, if you’re still having this issue feel free to contact us at http://www.evohosting.co.uk/contact-us and let us know what domain it is.
Hey Tim,
The one site only just started to come up a few hours ago, god knows why it was just that 1 affected. Pretty random isn’t it.
