Website not working

[fathermocker]

My Wordpress-based website suddenly stopped working. What's wrong? Is the server down?

Your account used to be on lotus, but is now on fris due to the server move. Accounts on the new server are still being restored. When the accounts are restored, you will be able to see your website and files. The new server is a work in progress, and due to the large amount of accounts being restored there is no estimate on completion time. Keep up to date with the latest status updates at http://status.x10hosting.com

No he won't.

He set up his DNS through another party, afraid.org, not x10hosting. Which is fine. Until a) the IP of the server he is on changes or b) the server he is on changes period.

His current DNS servers show an IP of 69.175.120.10 , ie what used to be lotus. That IP no longer points to an x10 server.

Other sites on the new server, FRIS , (Google it!) , show an IP of 69.175.6.94.

If he decides to keep his DNS on afraid.org, he should adjust them accordingly.

Well then he just needs to change his nameservers to ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com or his A record to 69.175.6.94. The new server still isn't up for everyone, so my first post is still correct.

Thanks, I just changed it to the new IP then. So I guess I will have to open a new thread everytime the server IP changes, or else just change my DNS to x10 hosting?

Isn't that essentially what I said?

Wrong again.

It is easiest to set your DNS to those of your host for this very reason.

I just changed my A record, so thanks again.

But then I won't be able to use Google Apps with my server, like I can with afraid.org...or is there another way?

Nope. Your wrong. As his site shows a misconfiguration error, I am right. The server is not up for everyone. And by "up" I mean functioning correctly. A lot of sites on the new server have mysql issues, misconfiguration issues, and dns issues.

My apologies. I misread "everyone" as "anyone". My mistake. You are correct.
