Can't see my website or my host....

Hey Guys

I can't seem to pull up my website or even access ipower.com's website who is my host. I called them and they say everything is working fine and that their site is working fine, too. I can't access my FTP or my webmail or basically any link that has ipower.com in the name.

I just asked a friend and she says the same thing....www-japan-games.com only says, "Page not found." The same goes for www.ipower.com.

Any help? It's been about 12 horus since everything went offline...

Thanks,
Eric

 

This is pretty strange.....

I'm using BBIX as my ISP. Neither Japan-games.com or anything with ipower.com works.

Two friends are using JCOM in my city. One says both sites work fine, the other says only ipower.com pulls up.

Another friend in Osaka has another ISP and she can't access either page.

Everyone is using a mix of IE7, IE8, Firefox, and Chrome.... Nothing pulls up when I try any of those 3....they all say Page Not Found.

WTF?

 

Just tried it now, I am in Japan in Ibaraki using NTT broadband and it load up fine and qujickly, ditto the ipower.com website works too.

try IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS (if running windows in a command prompt) and see if that works.

 

Works for me here in El Norte. Maybe there's a DNS problem going around?

 

Looks like it's working again. I sent a friend an email about calling my ISP tomorrow and she said she could see Japan-Games.com just fine. I clicked on the link in the email for Japan-Games.com and the page pulled up without the www. The address read http://Japan-Games.com. The page worked, so I switched to http://www.japan-games.com and now the full site works again. Looks like ipower is back again, too.

No clue what that was about, but it's nice to know I'm not completely out of business anymore.

Thanks for helping...!

 

Shoulda tried a trace route, that should have told you, or at least gave you an idea, of where the issue was.

 

What's a trace route?

 

start your CMD prompt, enter "tracert" and your IP or www-site you wish to trace.

 

Both seem to work fine now.

 

They probably had an outage or something that they probably didn't want to admit to. Everything seems fine on my end. The site came up for me.

 

It will generally time out at the hop that's screwed up. The problem is, when just about everyone else can see it but you, it's a problem w/ your providers DNS... not yours. I've only once had to call a provider to get them to fix something... and of course, it took 15 minutes of explaining in Japanese that it was their problem, not mine. It's hard being smarter than everyone sometimes.
