Works fine for me! Someone must have renewed the domain name pretty fast!

It doesn't work for me. It gives me a webpage that says the domain is parked with godaddy.

It may depend on what DNS servers you are using. Many (including those run by Rogers), do not operate properly - especially when it comes to honouring the expiration time for caching information. From other reports, it looks like the domain expired (perhaps ever so briefly - no matter). Some DNS servers may take 24-48 hours to "notice" the new information and expire the "not found redirection" that was caused by the expiry of the domain name.

I am behind a corporate proxy that has known issues and this is yet another one. If I connect via a VPN service, all is well. The domain registration is valid (once again) so I imagine this is a temporary problem for some people...

The domain registration should not have been allowed to lapse - that is the root cause of the problems...

Thanks for the explanation. I used hidemyass and it worked.

That might be worth doing all the time... ;)

GoDaddy is rather ... infamous ... for the way they handle domain names. I've been meaning to switch it over to another company. Actually I'm not even sure anymore why it was ever with GoDaddy.
