My server is down

Before you open a ticket or contact us, do the following to be sure it IS ours machine that is exhibiting the problem.

  • Does your IP (or temporary URL ) address work?  If so, it's a DNS issue.  Check to be sure your domain name isn't expired.  You can do a whois lookup at http://www.scarletsweb.com/manage/domainchecker.php.  If it's expired, renew it and it should start working again in 12-72 hours.
  • Do a trace route.  From a DOS prompt in windows, type tracert mydomain.com and hit enter.  You'll see a series of "hops" as the request passes from your computer to your domain.  If you see stars and a "timed out" message, that's where the break is.
  • Go to http://www.adfreeproxy.com and see if you can access your site from there.  If so, it's possible that the firewall has blocked your IP for too many failed login attempts.  Open a ticket and be sure you tell us what your IP address is.  You can go to http://www.ipchicken.com to find out.
