My suspicion for the moment is that DNS at your hosting company has gone walkabout.

Heh, that's what it's looking like. Hopefully they can fix it ere long... not only is the website down, but email can't get through either.

BTW... my host is in FL, the Vancouver, WA address is for a Whois privacy service. Their name and address gets listed in Whois instead of mine, and they forward legitimate mail or email to me.

It is amazing how truly fragile DNS services are. Of all the things on the Internet... that's one system that hasn't substantively changed since the original arpa-net days. The tables are prone to corruption and when they do... pow... down it goes.

That's why DNS servers are ~always~ listed in pairs or threes. They knew it was a flukey system from the beginning. Nobody then ever *dreamed* that the arpanet would get this big.

[sigh] That, and "64K should be enough memory for anybody". :-)
