As of right now, http://the-geek.com server is down. I am still investigating what has happened. To those who frequent the site, please let me know the time and date you visited and if it was down or not.
Edit: As of 17:35 CST (5:35PM), it’s back up. I logged a help desk ticket to my host, and they did a reboot on the server. Thanks for letting me know, guys. It’s a lot of help. :)
My results…
Tried to get to http://the-geek.com/ at 5:58 pm Eastern time today. No dice. “Cannot find server” popped up. Hit Refresh because I don’t trust Comcast. “Cannot find server.” Did a hard refresh. “Cannot find server.” Okay.
So I opened the MS-DOS prompt and tried pinging the site. Tried it first with my domain, weirdweb.net and got ping replies for all 4 packets.
So then I tried both the-geek.com and http://www.the-geek.com, with the following results:
C:\WINDOWS>ping the-geek.com
Unknown host the-geek.com.
C:\WINDOWS>ping http://www.the-geek.com
Unknown host http://www.the-geek.com.
If it was just “Request timed out,” I wouldn’t worry too much, but you might want to have a word with your webhost… hope this is temporary.
I don’t know any of what Mandi said, but as of 5:07 PM CST, I can’t find the server.
I’m with Erika, 14 minutes later though.
And now…
6:52 pm EST, and I can get on again. Whee!
Re: And now…
Yep, yep! Please note my edit post above. :D
