I’m glad you are back up, too. BUT, it is running very, very slow.

Will that improve??

It will fix itself in time. The domain name is the same but has a new IP address due to relocating the http server. All websites actually have a numerical IP address. When you type in a url, eg freerepblic.com, your browser sends a request. That request goes through many Domain Name Servers to locate the http server that holds the website’s files. These DNS servers are specialized and do nothing but route web traffic and the servers are all over the world. There could be several DNS servers involved in a request that aims your browsers to the final hosting server and they all take time to get their records updated when a website moves to a new final server with a new numerical IP address. Those requests can also take many different routes through the various DNS servers. Your individual location and internet service provider play a part in what path and dns servers will be used. Sometimes the request hits a server that hasn’t been updated yet when the request fails, it will try another server and another and another until it finds the website server. After a certain amount of time, it gives up. That’s when you get 503, 504, 404 etc errors.

Should be fine by tomorrow sometime. 12-36 hours these days. Used to be 24-72 hours but computers and servers have gotten faster and greater in number.

If you saw a chart of the servers onvolved, it would look like the dem’s non-profits $$$$$$ connections. The ones that usually have one or several Soros connections.
