Managed.com DNS issues (yes, again)
I woke up this fine Wednesday morning to see that my Managed server was down. Ok, I thought, I'll e-mail reboot@managed.com to have my server brought back up.
From: Robert Geller
To: reboot@managed.com
Subject: Server down... please reboot
66.79.190.90 went down suddenly, please reboot. thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Still no word on that. But no biggie, as this is not a production server, just my development server.
But then I saw something that bothered the hell out of me.
One of my domains for testing, unfclan.com (yes, not a very fit name, but I'm recycling it from a past project) used to have the IP 66.79.190.91.
Today, I checked DNS-tools and saw this:
IP address: 66.98.244.52
Host name: unfclan.com
Alias:
consumer.consumer.net
I saw that the alias was consumer.consumer.net; consumer.net operates and runs dns-tools.com, and now my domain is pointing at DNS-TOOLS!!! Wtf?!
If you type in http://66.98.244.52, you will see that it takes you to consumer.net.
I have absolutely no idea how this happened, and I can't do anything about it until Managed brings my server back up.

Maybe the server was exploited. Try phoning managed for the reboot.

Since the server is down DNS-Tools/Network-Tools.com's script automatically points the IP to 127.0.0.1 - It's a bug in their script. Your domain goes NOWHERE - Traces to your IP simply stop at the Managed.com main router.

I wish people would learn to manage their servers instead of starting threads bashing their provider, all because of something they don't understand.

Perhaps you should stop to consider what you say Sirius, before bashing other members.
EDIT : Matter resolved, server cancelled because of other reasons.
