Resolved BTW: elementfx.com Domain No longer Exists!

My headline is a statement and not a question.



I'm guessing x10Hosting didn't pay a bill to https://233766.myorderbox.com/, and their domain was parked. Note people that we enjoy x10hosting for FREE, so this isn't a complaint on my part but just a statement. It was probably just an oversight which can be quickly corrected.

However, I would STRONGLY suggest everyone make a backup of their entire website NOW, just in case x10Hosting decides to release the domain.

I'm not suggesting or implying anything on the part of x10Hosting. And, smart people always back up their work anyway.

Just tested my site now, everything is working fine.

Not sure what the problem was, but cleared my browser caches and backed up important portions of my website as precautions.

If it was fixed by x10Hosting gurus, my thanks!

If your seeing that id suspect you got a problem with your website.
i just checked your http://unsolicited.elementfx.com/blog/
and it works fine. i didn't see any messages like you claim.

always a wise idea to check with support before posting such messages.
*edit* i don't think x10 gurus were doing anything with this.

Thanks for the information, spacresx, nice to know the world can still see my site.

Still unclear to me why I still can't see it (perhaps my Company's VPN?) and why I get that message: Surely I'm not the only one on "elementfx.com" so if someone hijacked the entire domain many more would be affected.

Is it possible someone might have compromised my website and/or connection so that I'm the only one who sees that message in the OP?

Any insight would be appreciated, with my thanks.

Odd that i can see your website But you see something else like that.
i would suspect whatever you use to connect with as being the problem.
you mention your companies vpn for example..
maybe they blocked your ip or your website.
but i don't really see that happening.

But because others had similar issues on that domain,
its possible it is a legitimate message and x10hosting waited to the
last minute to renew the elementfx.com
domain name, which is just finishing its propagation.

propagation is odd that way, people can see the domain,
as much as 3 days before someone else around the world.
as it take 1 to 72 hours for full propagation of a domain name.
which explains why id see it ok and you wouldnt.

No comment from me on this one. I'm sure the party(ies) responsible are thoroughly punished enough.
