Exclamation Domain Name Server down since Sunday! Mamma!!!


If you tried or are trying to access this site and forum by following SurfNewquay.co.uk domain name you would have noticed that this is/was not possible, as DNS server was down since Sunday but I was informed that it should be restored by Wednesday evening. As some of you may have noticed, SurfChat.co.uk domain name was not affected and site & forum operated as expected.
My hands were/are tied behind my back trough all this as I had to deal with absolutely incompetent and disorganized tech support bunch, who did their best to extend this embarrassing little crisis.
I will not name the company in question apart from saying that their name is NicNames! Needless to say that I will be moving domain name away from them real soon.

It is now Wednesday eve, around midnight hour and the service has not resumed. Shall I pull all my hair out? No, I'll let advancing years do that for me. In the meantime I am off to bed and hope that - as I wake up in the morning and fire up web browser - SurfNewquay.co.uk will finally forward all the users to SurfChat.co.uk web server.
Good night and god bless NicNames.

Thumbs up Back On Cyber Air

Friday morning and SurfNewquay.co.uk domain name is operational again and about time. It has been now nearly a week of technical nightmare, incompetence and lack of interdepartmental communication breakdown on behalf of NicNames where this domain is parked.
I fail to understand how something simple as web forwarding needed five days to arange. Oh well, one learns along the way. One thing is for sure. There will be some major hosting changes on a horizon in the near future. Hope that nothing goes wrong until then.
