Hi,

I try to access www.giantdot.com, but I couldn't get anything. But when I tried to ping it, it's no problem.

Would someone tell me how this happened? Is the website still there, but I couldn't get it? Or is it gone?

The http server is prolly having problems or the host took them off their vhost list.. either one or something else...

$telnet www.giantdot.com 80
Trying 64.81.245.24...
telnet: connect to address 64.81.245.24: Connection refused

There's no server running on port 80. This is why you cann't access their web site. Pinging a machine is a totally different thing and all it tells you is that the server is up and connected to the net. Other services may be running such as email, telnet, ssh etc...
