I have already checked my DNS settings associated with woolcom.net and they are correct. As far as woolcom.com goes, I no longer use this domain.

MY WEBSITE HAS BEEN DOWN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS!!!! I have been traveling, and lost a ton of prospective business. This is crazy! A company that "HOSTS" many company websites, cannot just send an alert message, and then drop all of the websites! The "alert" went out two days before Christmas, which they cannot show was actually ever sent to us.

ArtValue,

Are you still having issues loading your site? I was able to pull it up with both adelaidefineart.com and .net

Your attempt at giving instructions is ridiculous. If your going to make changes, give your customers concise information. The only way I could get email back was to disregard everything you suggested and wing it.

Mike8865,

We are sorry if you had an issue, but I am not sure what it was. It does not appear that you were required to change the DNS. If you were, you would have received an email at the beginning of the year.. These changes are specific to a subset of customers and can't be "winged" If you required this change then you would need specific new records that we are unable to post publicly. This is why the topic asks you to create a private conversation, so we can provide you with your records.

I'm guessing you had a different issue and I'm glad you got it fixed. Next time you have an issue, feel free to post a question here.

I have been keeping quite since you helped me with getting the correct index page showing in Plus and I know you have been busy with other customers. I was just wondering what are some of the new features becoming available with all of the changes being made?

Unfortunately Larry7044,

All of this was a back end change to go from an outdated set of servers to a much more modern one. You won't see much out of this change directly, except for some additional speed. The new center will also be more secure and less vulnerable to DDoS attacks. It does, however, give us a modern platform from which we can improve all products and services in the future.

Until this week my main site woolcom.net has been working OK. But over the last few days it is slow to load. You get part of it fairly quick and then it takes 10-15 seconds for the rest of it to load. Any idea how much longer until this can be resolved? I have many customers using this site for their home page and I'm getting calls from them about this.

Thanks, I have noticed an increase in speed since the 23rd and also have my Desk Top Site Builder working again. I was hoping that we could get some new templates at some future date.

I haven't changed anything yet. Is this why asnailspace.net is now no longer accessible without a www?

I did not receive an email about updating DNS contact info, and my interface in the domains tab does not have the "Edit Contact Info" link. Please advise.

I point my DNS over to wordpress, and I don't use homestead's service for much other than occasionally hosting some files, but not right now. I assume I don't need to do anything. Is that correct?
