Normal service has been resumed
Please accept my apologies for yesterday’s downtime. Hits to my site have been steadily increasing over recent weeks (visible at the bottom of this page). Yesterday it hit the wall with my service provider. To fix the problem, the site has been moved to another server.
Some of you may have experienced the PLESK default page and the following message when trying to access the site last night.
If you see this page it means:
1) hosting for this domain is not configured, or
2) there’s no such domain registered in Plesk.
This occurred because my site was given a new Internet address when it was moved to the new server. However, it takes around 24 hours for the mapping of ‘ozpolitics.info’ to the new address to be propagated across the entire Internet (actually I think the issue is that it takes around 24 hours for old cached name server lookups to expire). The Plesk message came from the old server. You got the Plesk message because your browser was looking for the site where it was on the old server, not where it is now on the new server.
Thank you everyone who emailed me to tell me the site was down.
