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:

also showing an IP of 127.0.0.1

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,

I thought it would be appropriate to try and keep all talk on this topic together, so this topic is locked.
