123 Reg

[#1]

Is anyone else experiencing problems with 123 Reg hosting?  I cannot access a couple of websites that I know are hosted there.

Yes ones again they have done it to us!

Pipex Comms (GX) are real professionals when it comes to taking once good companies and downgrading them.
They are starting a new advertising campaign with the slogan "We snatch failure from the jaws of success"

Well 123-Reg is back but sluggish, for customers sites to come back up on line.

Thanks for your help earlier, Gary.
I don't host with 123-Reg  but www.pipexsanctuary.co.uk is registered through them.
Still unable to access from my PlusNet connection - hosts can't see any problems at their end.
Just added http://www.123-reg.co.uk/status.pl

That's taken about 24 hours, Gary
Problem is that one looks everywhere else first. Changed from static IP to dynamic, chased people who host site etc. Tried dial-up which connected and that threw me - hence changes to PlusNet connection.
Thanks for your help earlier.
Spoke too soon

Your welcome.   
[Edit]
Your site is still sluggish.  Who is your host just out of interest?

Well, I'm getting no DNS results for 123reg themselves now.
They must be having a pretty major failure to down their own site due to DNS!  I'd have bodged up a new DNS server just to keep their own site online.

Thanks everyone.  They seem to have sorted themselves at last.

This is first time I've ever had a problem with them but it did cause agro as I thought it was my actual hosts that were down and chased them.
Partially own fault as still have nameservers pointing at 123-Reg and DNS at hosts. Left it that way as had problems with initial site hosting and ended up moving it twice. Left us more in control.
Just wonder what will ultimately happen to 123-Reg as currently owned by Pipex Comms but it looks like an equity company (with PXC chairman involved) is trying to buy the group.

I'd never let 123reg host my DNS 🙂
Update domains with my own nameservers as soon as I can.
