    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

    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 :(
