I'm trying to visit this site and it's impossible. Also, I can't do a traceroute for www.mchost.com.

Problems ?

Well the machine that hosts the mchost.com site is in DV2 I belive (I think it may have just moved so it might be an IP thing?).

This is the latest email I got from them yesterday:

There was a short period of unannounced downtime today related to the earlier periods of unavailability.

The datacenter had yet another DOS attack - which brought the network down. They decided, to avoid network downtime, that they should upgrade the router while the network was dead anyway. They had planned to replace the router at a later time, but this opportunity presented itself so they took it. The new router should provide over 100% more capacity than the old router.

We apologize for the inconvenience and the lack of forewarning. Both the DOS issues and the router-replacement issues should be resolved now

From France, it's 100% down today and it's impossible to do a traceroute.

It might be that your ISP is not routing the requests correctly, due to this:

Thanx for your answer, you're right, it must be the good reason. :agree:
