I have intermittent problems accessing your site every couple of days when the server can't be found. I assume that to be a DNS issue - perhaps your provider's DNS servers are unreliable (running Windows maybe or very poorly configured.).

As for the carbontrix page in your subject, that produces an Error 404 because the document cannot be found - probably a misspelling of the filename or something. Even stranger though, the document typically shown for a 404 Error was missing, so that produced another Error 404 trying to look up that document.

EDIT: I just realized you were looking for carbontrix.com as a separate site, but still that's odd that their 404 document is missing. That requires someone to specifically go out of their way to break that.

Sounds to me like very poor hosting. Judging also from the fact that they haven't secured their DNS servers (http://ns.hmdns.net/ and http://ns2.hmdns.net/) because both of those servers are also running untouched Apache webservers open to the world as well as anonymous FTP servers. That's just an indication that they haven't taken the simplest steps to protect/secure those servers.

Works fine for me here. Seems more like a clever ruse to get more traffic on some web pages. Hmmmm, very clever ROCK, very clever.

I've had a ton of problems getting on your site the last week and a half.. (I gawk at least once a day )

As far as webhead reasons... two to three possibilities.

1) Your DNS provider is having technical problems and the domain name you guys have is not routing properly to your webserver

2) Your webserver is having difficulties and may be intermittenly going down or being overloaded

3) If your contract is at all bandwith or hits based the DNS or the host server will periodically cancel the subscription to keep you within quota.

I think those are the major possibilities... there are other various but less likely possible causes (like a denial of service attack which means a hacker hits your site as fast as possible over and over and thus makes it impossible for other individuals to get in to the site because the server gets maxed out... etc)

right now it's working.

sometimes it gives me unable to find server error.

I just figure it's down for some reason or another and try later.

Well, would have been a clever ruse if your site would not keep going down. .

Not that you guys would need a ruse, I think everybody on here (that is not a brand newbie) knows you guys are some of the best. Hope you get the kinks worked out so you can focus on being a good "doctor" for all the newborn Evos.

I'd have to agree with sdhotwn. It's surely a DNS error. If the server had crashed you'd get the 404 error and I'm getting site not found which points to DNS.

For those who don't know what DNS is:
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses, and to control Internet email delivery. Most Internet services rely on DNS to work, and if DNS fails, web sites cannot be located and email delivery stalls.
