Hi All,

Due to some infrastructure upgrades in the data center, we have incurred a change of IP address for the server that Fordmods is hosted on. IP address changes lead to DNS changes which unfortunately take up to 24 hours to totally propogate accross the internet. I'd imagine Fordmods will be reachable by most Australian and NZ users by very early Friday morning.

Appologies for the lack of notice, it all happened more sudden than expected. The good news is increased network reliability and this also opens the gate for us to upgrade the speed of our connection to the 'net in the near future!

Enjoy

Cheers

-Be

As at 1.30AM most users should be able to connect regardless of DNS propagation with thanks to some fancy IP forwarding.

It may not be 100% stable, but it should do its job until DNS is fully propagated. (This is being posted from my home PC which wasn't able to connect before..)

Most probably due to the DNS changes....but more something on your end....a lot of posts have been submitted today so the site has been up.

Ive been on here numerous times today and all was good.

Could have been something happeining on your own PC or with your ISP not handling dns requests properly
