Mercedes Club website down?

[JDL60]

Any news on Mercedes Benz Owners Club forum nothing for days ..

Something wrong with the website there, my BT search engine keeps saying the URL cant be found!

Their domain name has been suspended.

The domain name is with fasthosts and valid until 25/10/2017 and the DNS is resolving to an IP of http://87.106.73.77/ with 1&1 hosting in Germany.

Doesn't look like a domain name or DNS issue. Its coming back with a 404 error which is page not found on the resolving server, so the domain is resolving OK.

Looks like a hosting issue where either the server is not responding in some way, or has been taken down by the host.

how did you check this? the ip for that server is 212.227.137.164 and the DNS was not resolving any host at the time it was down.

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Server: UnKnown
Address: 208.67.220.220

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: Home - Mercedes Benz Owners
Address: 87.106.73.77


If DNS is busted everyone could get a different result.

I got the main site back but still no forums.

At least it gives me a chance to get some work done I suppose.

 

[Flyinspanner]

I can get the home page, but the forum gives a "not found error" time approx 10:20, so not fully resolved yet
