VW Main: VWatch Experiences Outage
Posted by Remora:
As many of you already know, Volition Watch, and all its subordinate sites experienced an outage from early Thursday morning to around 6:00pm this evening. The reason for this downtime is because our hosting provider didn't renew our domain name, and it subsequently expired. When a domain expires, as you might have guessed, it no longer gets associated with an IP address, and therefore you cannot figure out where our server is.
Being the way DNS works, the site will still be unreachable to a good portion of people ... when you get access all depends on how fast your ISP updates their DNS tables. We apologize for the inconvenience. On the brighter side, this kind of thing can only happen once a year ... !!
