Cannot acces website and forums most of time

[dbforum]

Hi,

Great hosting! But... the problem i can't find my site too often. Today I was logged in for some time (installed mambo) and now since a few minutes i get a browser message dbforum.x10hosting.com not found, check name and try again. This morning (european time) I had the same problem with the forum, but fortunately i could stay logged in since this afternoon. I don't know what's the problem. I think i cannot reach my site and/or the forums for about 50% of the time. And then suddenly it works again and then suddenly I can't get in anymore. Is getting a bit disappointing...
Hope someone can help me finding out what's wrong

Thanks in advance,

Maarten Storm

If this problem isn't affecting other members then it is most likely a problem on your end. How are you connected to your network/Internet? Wireless? Could your Internet connection be on the fritz (cable, DSL, dial-up)?

I've been having a similar problem. Sometimes I can't get to my site or forums or it loads very slowly. :/

Right now, Its barely loading.

What country are you guys from? I'm trying to narrow down the problem... everyone's DNS settings are the same as everyone elses so it is making it hard...

http://www.forum.r0fl.info -- loading terribly slow right now

I'm sure it's aproblem with me, because I didn't find similar threads in this forum.
The strange thing is, I only have it with x10hosting.com. I tried changin from IE to FireFox (thought of that before, but this was a nice occasion ;)), but also Firefox gives the same problem. What really confudes me thats its going up and down. Checked my internet connection with the software the provider gave me (dutch provider casema), couldn't find anything. Could it have to do something with DNS?

I also have had the same problem while trying to access from my school.

edit:

Now I'm getting
HTTP 504 - Gateway timeout :confused_

edit2:
now its working. crummy thing.

Sorry I was just takeing a spabe in the dark. Next time you can't access your site go into the command prompt (start/run type cmd) and type

ping dbforum.x10hosting.com

then type

ping 70.85.87.52

Then cut and copy the results into here

(to cut and copy in the command prompt right click the tab on your start bar, click properties, when the properties dialog box comes up goto the edit options and click quick edit. Then click ok, goto the command prompt window highlight everything you want to copy and then right click it. It will be copied to your clipboard and then you could paste it normally here.)

This will help the admins in figureing out if its a DNS issue or not.

I'll talk to the datacenter and see if they have any ideas... no clue what is going on for you guys =\ DNS seems to be running smoothly on the server...
