Maybe the server you're hosted on is down...
Have you tried looking into that? for instance checking whether your host's website is available or if you own a dedicated server try to access it from a remote admin program.

all their own web sites.. ( I actually gave the addresses above) are down, as well as their ftp site.
|
| Posted by 75Host, 07-17-2004, 09:32 PM | |
Are you hosted on a hosting company or do you own a dedicated server?
|
| Posted by AbsolutelyFreeWeb, 07-17-2004, 09:36 PM | |
I hope its just that the server is down.Its a free hosting company, so I shouldnt expect much.. but the server was fast and there was no downtime until today..

Sometimes it's just better to pay a couple of dollars per month and have a quiet peace of mind, that's what i think.

I know, and I review free hosts so I know the problems with them. Its just that I registered with them, not for their service, but their domain name, that would give a good ranking on search engines for the kind of site I have. I thought they at least would last even though worried I wouldnt receive much service, and probably, needed to negotiate with them if they started put ads and stuff on the site...

Oh, i see, good luck then.

Servers go down as they are mechanical. I would not worry until this becomes more frequent. Most people expect a computer,server to always stay up but remember it is a box with hardware software and a number of things could happen.
I am sure they are working on it

thanks sandee, I needed someone telling me something like that.. beter calm down, go to sleep, and it will all be ok tomorrow
|

A simple problem can turn out to take hours to track down and fix the issue. Hope everything works out ok

yes, their ftp and sign up was down yesterday due to "system upgrade", but then it started going again. so it could be problems in connection with that. but all their sites gone seems kinda big. still maybe not, if all their sites are just on one server.. maybe they are..???
some traffic reports:

g'morning!
no.. I must ask this.. even if it is a server going down. how often does the both name servers go down at the same time??
|
| Posted by TLott, 07-18-2004, 03:03 PM | |
Depends if the host is unfortunate enough to place both nameservers on the same server (eliminating the built in redundancy of 2 individual nameservers).
|
| Posted by AbsolutelyFreeWeb, 07-18-2004, 03:07 PM | |
I bid them goodbye today.. Im moving hosting + registering domain. I registered a .tk domain isntead but unfortuantely the free tk domains are not good enough. maybe they will be someday.. so its gonna change again

Good luck with your new hosts
Yeah, free hosts always keep you busy
|

Just tested your website and I get the original "Absolutely Free Web Hosting" site displayed,
hosted with FR&T www.frandt.com
|
| Posted by AbsolutelyFreeWeb, 07-19-2004, 04:30 AM | |
yes, the old one, the hijacked one is the one with the url I gave above, but I didn't link to it directly, don't want to give them more links. I have changed my domain yet another time, I will update my signature shortly
|
| Posted by BalticSea, 07-19-2004, 05:04 AM | |
I've tested it with the .tk domain
|
| Posted by AbsolutelyFreeWeb, 07-19-2004, 05:07 AM | |
ok first, it was on the host freeweb-hosting.com
then I made a .tk, but then found out their forwarding doesnt support masking. The thrid time I did it right. A new .org domain is registered and it doesn't use forwarding but is hosted. The new address is http://absolutely-free-web-hosting.org
but I am making a lot of changes right now. may not look good.

Thanx for the info, it got rather confusing
Nice project you've started
