Question about Nameserver Issue

leviathans · **Question about Nameserver Issue -** 06-25-2012, 10:24 AM

I am aware there is a problem with the 000webhost name servers at the moment causing my forum to be down and I was wondering how long do you think roughly the problem will be fixed because I have quite a lot of members wanting to use the forums but they can't. I saw a thread that may help me regarding Cloud Flare for the time being but at the moment it hasn't checked for the new updated name servers so I am currently wondering how long roughly will it take to fix the issue so I can get my forums up again?

I didn't know this problem was still ongoing, have you a warning in members area about your nameservers?
If you aren't using the email services of 000webhost you could connect using A records. Look under "View Account Details"

I had a warning earlier today about the name servers and I updated it using the domain supplier I have just to make sure and then it went away for a few hours, now I nor any of my members can connect to the forums and I have no warning about name servers etc.

Can anyone else connect apart from your members ? Can you see it through a proxy? www.hidemyass.com Is the site up? http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
Maybe you have to wait again for the nameservers to propogate fully again.

No one can connect currently, if you would like to you can try @ www.forum.complexity.uni.me and I just tried the proxy website and it could not connect then I used the downforeveryoneorjustme website and it said "It's not just you! Forum.complexity.uni.me looks down from here"

In that case it's the server that's down, not your nameservers. Not much to do but wait it out.

Depends where you live as to when morning is

The message I get when I can't connect is

The server at forum.complexity.uni.me can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed.

I suppose I do have to wait it out until an Administrator comments :/

I have been told by some members they can connect but me the admin of the forums can't -.- I've tried using different browsers / links and used proxy / websites to tell me if it's up or not and I can't connect and websites tell me it's down. I really want an answer fast please.
