On WP, there's a thread about AFF being down. pezar wrote: "The WHOIS listing says "client transfer prohibited". They did something to tick off their hosting service apparently, and the site was yanked. Somebody from Wrexham, UK named Amber Roberts is listed as contact. The host is 1&1 Internet Ltd, www.1and1.co.uk/ . Apparently it's been down since July 31. I don't care enough to dig further, just know that AFF got the boot from its hosting service."
Sometimes, when a website is hacked, the hosting company decides they don't want to go to the trouble to fix the problem and don't want to deal with the unfixed security hole, so they just boot the person as if they're the problem.
Just so it's clear there can be reasons to be kicked off that go beyond doing something wrong.
That doesn't seem to go with the discussion here about it, the reason for it. Can anyone clarify what connection if any, and what this all might mean???

alright. whats happened, is that for some reason, our DNS has gotten fucked up. AFF IS still up; there is no "Hosting Problem", we own the server outright. but our DNS provider (Domain Name Service) fucked up, and now www.aspiesforfreedom.com doesnt translate to 78.47.99.206 as it should, but it's now pointing at 82.165.86.125; which is normally kurden.de or something along those lines. that moran doesn't know what his is talking about. Link please, so I can explain over there?

Cool! I figured that you would know a lot more about what's going on, but I know very little about this computer/Internet stuff, so I didn't know if they were compatible or what. Thanks for the clarification.
