unable to access hotukdeals

New to PlusNet as of yesterday - can access all our usual websites except for hotukdeals.com (using Opera - could not locate remote server). Is this just us or is it a general problem - this is a vital site for my wife!

Re: unable to access hotukdeals

are you using a Plusnet router or your old one
Having said that I can't connect to them either using Plusnet DNS
Using tracert it is a DNS lookup problem
Changed to Google DNS and problem solved

Re: unable to access hotukdeals

As a quick get around I suggest changing the DNS servers on your computer to use Google as the first one

Does seem to be DNS related:

Re: unable to access hotukdeals

Many thanks to everyone for such prompt and helpful responses.
This is the first time I have ever tried posting and assumed there had been no response, not realising that I had been logged out after 60 minutes! Apologies to all concerned for apparent rudeness.
I was just looking up how to change my DNS server, as recommended, when my wife told me that hotukdeals was back on - all is well again!
Very impressed. Smiley

Re: unable to access hotukdeals

You are not posting from a Plusnet connection but from your university - is this where you are having the problem
