Does anyone know anything about these guys being down? My site, which they host, is down. So is their homepage:

Both their site and my site with them is up from here. Might be a local connection issue.

Damn, that's odd. I can get onto any site on the net except mine and theirs. Could you tell me what yours is? Thanks

Are you talking about the site in your profile pstritt ? I can access that site with no problems

hung for a couple seconds then loaded for me.

Yes that's it. Wonder what is going on there?? I am across the pond from them, in Texas, but I don't see what that would matter?

It takes several seconds for the DNS to resolve on your domain. Your host may have laggy DNS servers.

I noticed your nameservers listed in your whois and the nameservers that are getting called within a DNS report are different, did you recently move servers? Name Servers: ns1.skytrain.unitedhosting.co.uk ns2.skytrain.unitedhosting.co.uk http://dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport...in=talonsd.com My guess would be that you have 4 nameservers listed in your zone file, the ns1 and ns2 are pointing to the same IP addresses for both nameserver hostnames so I would clear out the two which you are not using and it should speed up your DNS queries a little more, I also got about a 10 second wait.

We have had no outtages recently. I suggest using our helpdesk if you have a problem, thats what its there for. It is hosted "off network" so even if you cant reach our main site, you can still reach support. Thank you.

Perhaps you could tell me how to get in touch with the helpdesk since I can't get on your website to find it.
