Server issues (hardware or software not sure). There are two admins but they are not that active anymore. "Elections" have been issued amongst the mods to get at least one extra admin which is a more active member.

Yes I am active and I'm here. There was a DNS issue that was not due to the server. Internet DNS servers were passing out the wrong address for the site.

Even IF the server was down for a month with the power off. It does not give the right to these stupid cloud services trying to cache sites etc to give out the wrong IP address.
You have a fixed IP and you have it registered. Please tell me where,why,how they have the right to simply start giving out the wrong IP ?

For future reference the IP address of the KiXtart site is: 195.140.242.100
If you look at Cloudflare right now it is still putting out the wrong information.


104.28.29.105 is from United States (US) in region North America
104.28.28.105 is from United States (US) in region North America
Input: kixtart.org
canonical name: kixtart.org
Registered Domain: kixtart.org


Name Server:ROSE.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM
Name Server:JIM.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM


But if you then lookup that IP it can't find it. So again not sure how or why you think its the servers fault.

Lookup failed: 104.28.28.105 No data
104.28.28.105 is from United States (US) in region North America

Thanks Doc. I had a feeling it wasn't the host. Seen the cloudflare stuff before. Now have static entry for kixtart.org to 195.140.242.100 on my home network.

I've sent email to see if it's at all possible to get a different DNS provider than Cloudflare. Not sure though as we asked before about 3 years ago.

Glad to see it back online, whatever the reason. \:D
