From his forum posted today...
<q>As you might have noticed, Under1mb.com was down a couple of days. This
is because of the fact that I am moving the domain name from
DomainDirect.com (who charge 35 dollars for 1 year!!!) to the nameservers
of a friend (XrD.nl) of mine, who is really affordable.
XrD now has a dedicated server, so I had to change the nameservers again.
And now the DNS is refreshed, we are back in business!
For everyone who has no idea what I am talking about: We were down, but are
back up again!</q>

Maybe DNS not quite 100% resolved.

Your local DNS server is the problem. That is why everybody else can
access the web page without problems. Your ISP should get it working
correctly again.

If somebody tells you the IP address to that location you can go there
directly, just put the number in your browser.
Then there is no reason to look up the number in the DNS server.

I tried to find out the IP-number of the site but I have not found out
how to get it. Maybe someone else can find the number.

When you have an unreliable local DNS server you might want to use
another DNS, at a university or another ISP. I think there are good
possibilities to use an alternative DNS server.

Your most important url:s can be saved as numbers to allow access no
matter if the DNS servers do not work.

Roger,
Cheers for the reply........ I'd already tried the IP address and
was presented with the same result (i.e. no website). finally got access to
the site yesterday.
