As of January 1, 2014 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will mandate that all ICANN accredited registrars begin verifying the Registrant WHOIS contact information for all new domain registrations and Registrant contact modifications.
Why was my domain suspended?
ICANN requires that the domain registrant's contact information or changes to the registrant's WHOIS information be verified within 15 calendar days. If the data is not verified in this timeframe, ICANN mandates that the website be suspended pending the verification.
How can I remove the suspension on my domain?
The suspension of the domain will be removed after the WHOIS information is successfully verified. Please update the WHOIS information with complete and accurate contact details through your domain service provider. Once updated you will recieve a new verification email.
Once the suspension is removed, when will my website come back online?
We estimate it may take 24 to 48 hours for the website to come back online.
Who is ICANN?
ICANN is responsible for the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and, in particular, ensuring its' stable and secure operation. ICANN maintains policies and specifications for registrars and registrants to abide by.
What is WHOIS?
WHOIS services provide public access to data on registered domain name holders. Registered Name Holders are required to provide accurate and reliable contact details to their Registrar to update WHOIS data for a Registered Name.
Works fine for me.
Nothing.
I just went to their site and it came up likety split.
sometimes if you do http or skip www on a web site it will not resolve correctly if they do not have the server set up right. For example: try http://weatherunderground.com and try http://www.weatherunderground.com. One works and the other doesn't because their server is not set up correctly or completely.
Weird... It doesn’t work for me even if I put the full address in. If you do a Google search, it seems that there are a lot of people having problems, but there are many who are not. I don’t know what’s going on.
Down for me as well.
Maybe it just doesn’t work for people who use Scripture for their taglines in FR. ;-)
Won’t come up for me just now.
$nslookup - 8.8.8.8

Not coming in for me either. I think Vendome may have a cached version, which is why he got it but we don’t
Works fine for me.
Won’t load for me either.
Because the US gave away control of the internet to the Internationalists.
Don’t know what that means...
This might and does make a difference if (a) there is a problem or (b) if the DNS host is blocking certain domains. I don't recall where but have read over the last few years that some Internet providers were blocking some addresses. Anyway, you might try Google's 8.8.8.8 and see if that makes a difference. Also, clear your browser cache.

Nooe. Never been to the site before and the links inside work.
http://www.armslist.com is working fine for me...WHOIS contact updates are SOP (I get them for my 2 domains).
Assuming you’re on Windows...
1) open a cmd prompt by holding down the Windows Key and pressing the R key. The Windows Key is on the left between the Ctrl and Alt keys.
2) Type cmd then click Okay.
3) Now you should have a command shell. Type:
nslookup - 8.8.8.8 {ENTER}
4) Then type the domain you’re trying to browse to:
armslist.com
What results do you get?
It’s up now - 12:30 PM eastern.
