Hi

The Black Hat miniatures website is still apparently invisible to most of the UK and parts of the Europe since Wed 24th.

My hosting company cannot see a problem their end – it is visible to the USA.

Could anyone in the UK possibly post a traceroute to blackhat.co.uk here? Especially if it doesn't work and you cannot see the website.

It might help narrow the problem down.

thanks

Mike

It's accessible fine for me in the UK.

Bellbottom05 Jul 2015 11:53 a.m. PST

Won't open for me in the UK, either from the above link, a Google search, or my 'favourites' saved link

IUsedToBeSomeone05 Jul 2015 11:54 a.m. PST

It seems to be ISP dependent. On virgin I can't see it on EE I can

Fine for me on Plusnet, which uses BT infrastructure. Will try it on my mobile….

[Edit.] Also loads fine on my mobile, using Three.

IUsedToBeSomeone05 Jul 2015 12:07 p.m. PST

Thanks – I couldn't see it on BT Broadband while I was away on holiday and a customer in Norway can't see it either…

Most frustrating…..and I would expect 10- 20 orders on a summer weekend. I've had 1…..

Traceroute for what it's worth (using Plusnet broadband) – it does reach a "no reply" stage, but the site is working for me – double checked and refreshed and I am getting through to the site fine.

No reply for 3 hops. Assuming we reached firewall.

cloudcaptain05 Jul 2015 12:25 p.m. PST

Yeah those last few hops are probably ICMP filtered.

cloudcaptain05 Jul 2015 12:32 p.m. PST

I'd go into Hostgator's DNS management interface and add a test record. Maybe a cname test.blackhat.co.uk. Point that to your main a record. That will push a change to their DNS servers and if something is wrong with your zone file…it would "refresh" it. If other ISPs picked up a bad result trying to reach you last time it could take as long as 48 hours for them to query for a current record again. It sounds like Hostgator might have served up a bad DNS response recently.

It could also be a break along the net as you were thinking. More traces would tell.

Anyone know of any major backbones down in that region currently? I am only used to checking US based tools for such.

IUsedToBeSomeone05 Jul 2015 12:38 p.m. PST

Hi

Problem is that ANY domain on the shared server doesn't work, not just blackhat or others such as fighting15s.co.uk. Which means it can't be the DNS record for my account and it has been nearly 2 weeks now…

Also I can see the hostgator servers with IPs either side so it has to be very specific to the that one shared server but it works for some people….

My tracrt through Virgin is:

If you can't see the website could pls let me know your IP address ? It might help with tracking down the problem.

You can use

To find it.

You can Pm me if you like.

Some of it in Swedish, but you'll get the idea.

So, in summary:
we resolve blackhat.co.uk to 108.167.140.20 but cannot reach with ping, trace or browser.

This is the same from DGC, with IP 62.181.228.34,
from Telenor with IP 94.234.170.38 and from 3 with IP
79.138.131.51.

Hope this helps narrow it down.

That is great – many thanks for the info.

I'm looking into possibly moving hosting if this isn't sorted this week.

Mike

IUsedToBeSomeone06 Jul 2015 5:58 a.m. PST

I have ordered a new hosting account – UK based and hope to get a full cpanel transfer done in the next day or so. The shop will go into maintenance mode while this is being done…

thanks

Mike
