have you opened the correct ports to what you're using as the server?

yes, i opened port 80, 21 and the other ports needed. plus the software did the rest automatically

your site is currently saying to me that it cannot be found. Now, you say that you can find it with your LAN IP. how about your external IP? If you give me your WAN IP, by PM or otherwise, I will check to see if the site can be reached by that.

PMed you the IP

Hi ,

I am currently not able to browse the site http://alphahostsupoort.com/
it says the page not found .
I have checked through the lookups and it seems that the domain is still
available .

hove you spelled the domain name correctly , if yes have you checked the entries in the DNS . Is the DNS able to resolve the IP to alphahostsupoort.com.


you can also try this

. In Internet Explorer, choose Tools->Internet Options.

2. Click the Connections tab.

3. Click the LAN Settings button.

4. Uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" box, click OK and then click OK

Yeah I found the same answer on the web, verbatim. Which is dandy if he's using IE.

Cheers.

well, it works fine now darkermoon has helped me, and i own that domain name, its just that my computer was down yesterday, the domain expires in 6 months from now, i dont know why you got it as available.

it's showing up as available for me as well, now that I check it out but, the domain did work a day or so ago.. this is very strange. alphahostsupoort.com most def. is showing up as available. And, once again, your site isn't working...

Hi ,

find below the error which i get while visiting ur page
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://alphahostsupoort.com/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for alphahostsupoort.com
The dnsserver returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:

The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.

Your cache administrator is root.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It clearly stats that the doman is available and not yet registered , or the DNS was not able to resolve it

You might be able to see the page since u might have got a HOST file entry in HOSTS.txt file in system32 folder

please check and revert

I think it has some DNS issues...

iunno, it works fine on my friends computer, and on a public computer, i think there is a problem with the whois server you are using and i had shutdown my computer for sometime.

HI ,

the Url is still not working , however if u are convinced that its your local issue , no probs then .

I still suspect a DNS issue .

i dont know, probably, plus my computer is turned off most of the time.

Hello,
You may be able to see this via your LAN connection but the name isn't registered and if you did register it I'd advice you to look into this. I can't see it too. Is searched for it as a domain name as well as a name server.
Still no joy.
