Charley I have sent you a screen shot of the page to your e mail address

 

[Charley]

The whole website would have been down for everybody this morning. It appears a update in the early hours knackered the DNS config.

The ukworkshop domain is now using my newly developed DNS system (with DNS servers in London and Manchester) so hopefully what happened this morning won’t happen again. When I changed the name servers I also changed the sites IP address which is why people are seeing .188 and .170 everything should settle down in the next 24 hours depending on your ISP’s cache.

The go-dns.com page is the servers main ‘holding page’. I’m not sure why you are still seeing that. What comes up when you go to http://83.223.112.188/ , http://83.223.112.170 , https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk & http://ukworkshop.co.uk ?

83.223.112.118

Chris, is that a typo? .118 shouldn't show :?

The third address sends me to the wrong site - the rest work

Charley,
Sorry, it was a typo - should have been 188. I wanted to get the 83 bit across but then got the end wrong
