Looks like your website isn't available. I have already tried a couple of weeks ago when you wrote an article about security. But I can't get onto your website since. Hope you can fix it?

Hm. That's very peculiar - the site has 99%+ uptime, so maybe you've just had coincidental/unfortunate timing. The only thing that could even be an outside possibility is somehow you're on one of the few ip blocks that are banned on the server. (I believe most of those are in asia)

I don't think either of these reasons applies. First, I'm based in Germany (Europe) and second, I've tried many times over the last couple of weeks.

It looks to me like a DNS error. When I nslookup highervisibilitywebsites.com I always get a timeout. "Well, it might be a provider issue" I hear you say? That's hard to believe as I'm on the net all day every day and this is really the only site that I can't get access to.

Update: Sorry, I've just checked through remote desktop from a server in the UK and there I get access to your site. So it looks like my provider doesn'T have your domain in the DNS table? Hmm, what can I do about that, it's T-Com. Any ideas?

Sorry, jurgenhaas - I've never heard of that kind of issue before. I don't have the foggiest idea of how to fix, either. :-(

Maybe contact your provider?

Hi again, sorry for the long pause but it took me from 26th October until today to get any reasonable feedback from my provider - Deutsche Telekom. I could report one of those nightmares with support from giant companies but that's wasting time.

What we now found out is that your ns-servers obviously block the DNS servers from Telekom here in Germany. They will contact your administrator and ask him to release it. Hope this is going to work.

Oy, network issues.
