Something interesting that I noticed. I was unable to access my website earlier today. I pinged freepgs.com and did not recieve any replies. Later on I pinged it again and received replies from 127.0.0.1 aka localhost. I checked my hosts file and its unaltered. Any ideas of why this is happening?

Interesting. When I do a "dig freepgs.com", I get the following:

Yes, this was done to keep traffic off of the server so the datacenter would plug us back in (before bandwidth limits could be implemented)
Currently, only domain-based accounts will resolve.
Thank you,
