we were forced to disable the IP for now due to attack who got changed then increased. were looking to move the site to another network-protection. Sent to David on Dec/05/2008 3:47:00PM
The attack is much and we are having some hard time finding a pattern. Please give us few hours to permanently resolve it Sent to David on Dec/05/2008 4:37:28PM
72.20.26.114 please set this IP on DNS
So we transferred our domain on the new IP address, but it will be work within 1-2 days. You can access to our site now via IP http://72.20.26.114/ (if you will have problem with verification process, just press Ctrl+R in your browser). After 1-2 days you can access normal via domain address.
