Domain expired??

[XxHackThisxX]

ummm,i seem to have this problem which only started today with this site.I have this url for virtual customs book marked and when i click on it,it brings me to this other site which you see in the screenshot.It say's that the domain has expired.I cleared my history in chrome and it still did the same.I then just typed it into google,click the url and it still did it.A couple of time it came out of it,but for some reason it keeps going back to it.This is the same url i have always used.Figured i should mention this as i might not be able to get back in again.Any suggestions?

Hi mate try using cyberfox or ...i have my bookmarks stored in a folder ....one click and im on vc.....:Peace:
It looks like google chrome...is buggy....

[XxHackThisxX]

thanx.you are correct.although i did not use cyberfox,i used internet explorer.Internet explorer is fine.hmmm.Is just kindah funny how this just started today.I have mine book marked also and in just one click im usually here at vc.will have to dig i guess.thanx for the info :)

[XxHackThisxX]

ok.I have did multiple scans using malwarebytes,malwarebytes antiroot killer,TDSSKiller,and hijackthis.Found nothing.I did a scan because usually "redirects" spells malware or rootkits..etc..I could understand if this has ALWAYS been happening,but it just started today as i have always had the same url bookmarked.I have checked the "chrome:config:",and the "chrome:conflicts" and found nothing.I have cleaned out my history also.Im stumped :(

[beagleman1701]

I got the same on explorer freaked me out for a minute alls good now this is my second home id miss you guys.

[XxHackThisxX]

what did you do to fix the problem? or did it fix itself?

[Mr GRiM]

seems the domain has expired, I did have it set to auto renew but it looks like they haven't done it, I am trying to get hold of my current host to see if I can transfer the domain name over to them.

[XxHackThisxX]

Thanx MrGrimm for clarifying :) I feel more at ease now.

[beagleman1701]

what did you do to fix the problem? or did it fix itself? it fixed itself but from MrGrim's post he fixed it thanks mrgrim.

[Mr GRiM]

OK domain is renewed for another 2 years, I stayed with the same domain register, my host wasn't responding to my ticket and I didn't feel like waiting lol

[XxHackThisxX]

dont know what just happened MrGrimm..but it started again :(

[JokeStar]

seems to be OK now........I figured it was a glitch..........I never blame Chrome.....LOL

[XxHackThisxX]

took me ah good half hour to get into this site..lol.just keeps redirecting me or saying domain has expired.I think what i need to know if it is just me? or is it happening to everyone?

I haven't had any problems yet but I know the last time I let it expire I kept getting that problem, here is my support ticket from the last time, maybe it will help you.

Hi there,

If you and your friends are using the same ISP or the same DNS servers on the reverse lookup, you may be seeing a cached copy of the records where the registrar had expired it for a period of time prior to the renewal.

Can you check using Google DNS as your Internet connection DNS servers?

http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html#setup

You can repeat the steps from reply 1 after setting these as your Internet connection DNS servers and it should show it working for you.

Best Regards

I did the Google DNS settings as you suggested and I can now access the site again, do I now need to keep those settings there or can I remove them again?

Hi there,

You can remove them if you so wish and use your ISP provided DNS servers for name resolution, it was just so you could check to see if that (DNS caching by your ISP) was the issue.

[XxHackThisxX]

so far,everything seems to be working properly now.I had flushed my dns cache,cleared my history,but that didnt work.I then changed to google dns and that seems to have done the trick.cross my fingers.thanx again Mr Grimm for all your help.Is much appreciated :)

[Lisartica]

glad i was able to find this thread so thank you all for the informtion i also couldnt access it been 2 days fr me today i have been able to i guess the UK took longer to get the conection back up as i new others were able to acess this site from other countries but i am just glad its all back up an running so thank you to all of you for posting the information for us all :)

[MOST_WASTED]

happened to me too. i thought i got banned so it made me wonder what i did the night before. i was looking into space going " i wasnt even that drunk, what the hell did i do?" lol :laughing:

lol.that was my first assumption was that i got banned for no apparent reason and they did it silently.I couldnt imagine that i did anything wrong.And i dont even drink..ha ha.then i noticed that every once in a while i could get back in.so thanx to Mr Grimm and following some of the suggestions in his post,i was able to get in every time without a problem.what i dont understand is why it would only be this particular site.If there was ah problem with my dns,wouldnt it effect all sites?

i dont know. you say you got those buy this domain ads when u tried to visit this site, me i just had a white screen a few times, then the ads came later. oh well so long as its okay now i guess, would just be a pain trying to figure out the cause . dont worry about your setup there's nothing wrong with it.......maybe lol
