Any idea when your site will be online again?

EarlDoherty

I am in a real pickle here, since I don't know what is going on. When I try to access my own site, I'm now told "server not found." (This is a new development only a few days old.) The humanists.net director which hosts the Jesus Puzzle site tells me now that everything is OK from his end, and he can even access my site through various independent servers, and he suggests that somehow my computer has (accidentally) activated some kind of filter which is blocking it for me (which doesn't make sense to me, as I don't know what filter category it would fall under or how that would have happened). Are you (or anyone else here) telling me that you are getting the same message when you try to reach the JP site, "server not found"?

I have also just switched over to my own control (from a friend) the Redirection account with directNIC.com which handles my three redirect URLs: jesuspuzzle.com, jesuspuzzle.org, and ageofreason.org. If you are trying to reach the JP site through these URLs, they are not yet reconnected at directNIC to redirect to my actual site address (I've been holding off doing that until I solved the basic problem), and one only gets to a directNIC cover page. But the actual Jesus Puzzle site address (http://www.jesuspuzzle.humanists.net) should be working, but that's the one that tells me "server not found" and even the humanists.net director doesn't know why. I can't see what I would have done, even accidentally, from my end to create this kind of problem.

If anyone is getting that "server not found" when entering the actual site address (above), please let me know. It would tell me whether the problem is strictly at my own end or not. Any advice would be welcome.

(Incidentally, this comes after a repeated problem with the humanists.net server which over the last several weeks has been periodically hacked (including my own JP page) to install malware, prompting various "attack warning" notices for both my own and other humanists sites. Humanists.net restores things but so far seems to be unable to prevent it from recurring. Are there some hackers out there who simply can't be stopped from wreaking their havoc? What kind of security has the Internet got these days? If even Mastercard and Visa can't defend against interference from Wikileaks supporters, what chance do the rest of us have?)

Thanks,
Earl Doherty

The same things happened to me.Nothing seems to work.
I went to the La Factoria site,and had no luck searching for your book.
By the way I greatly enjoyed Jesus Puzzle.

I can't access http://www.jesuspuzzle.humanists.net either. It doesn't work via direct connection or through a proxy, www.proxify.com.

Do you mean the "same things" happened to you as someone who has had a book published by La Factoria? Or maybe you just mean you too were unable to access my Jesus Puzzle site?

For the moment at least (!), my site is accessible again. If this is the work of some determined hacker, I don't know how long it will be before the next attack if humanists.net has not managed to close and lock all the doors!

By the way, it is a curious coincidence (no doubt) that all this trouble arose immediately after I posted the notice about the Spanish publisher on my site. I've always wondered if a good cyber detective can pinpoint geographical sources of any hacking.

No.I just said that i could not access La Fractoria.
Not true.I can but, find their site clumsy.
Google translate does work.
ETA: Disregard all the previous blather.

I can access your site now. BTW, when are you going to add a "Search Site" function?
