DNS problems originating at the server/domain name service provider.
(A quick check shows that the domain name registration expired yesterday)

I think that there may have been an error re-registering the site domain name, ...it seems to be a non-existent domain name for many networks. If this is the case the site domain name will have to re-propogate the networks.

This might take a while.

In short, it isn't a browser problem.

It's like this.

If you register ibakecakes.com with a domain registration site, they provide the resources to "point" a browser to a specific server tied to that name when someone types it into their browser.

It takes 12 to 36 hours for the "pointer" thingie to travel around to all the different "pointer" thingies on all the different internet providers around the world (distance isn't a barrier here, you may be able to access but not your next door neighbour).

The name you register with the domain name service has a "lease" that lasts a year (on average, domains can be registered longer), ...when this lease is up, it should be renewed if the account is set up to auto-renew, if it isn't, or there is an error, ...the pointer thingies stop pointing, and the name "ibakecakes.com" will not exist on the net and fixing this may take 12 to 36 hours for it to be back online for everybody (while the pointer thingies travel to all the domain name servers used by various ISPs).

Domain name registration for the name "pofusers.com" expired yesterday.

Current status for the domain is: "clientHold"

12 to 36 hours? :shock:

There are people going through withdraws I tell you!

I think we should play a game called "who is the last pofuser standing". :lol:

Hi Guys,

The problem was due to the host's auto registration system failing. The hosting accounts were recently migrated over to a new server and the autoreg feature was not updated.

Appologies for any inconvenience caused.
