Problem Orbithangar.com is down?

[OddComrade]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct spot for this thread, but I noticed that Orbit Hangar is down. It redirects me to a GoDaddy link so I'm assuming that the owners of the domain haven't paid yet. Can anyone confirm that it's down?

Hugs, Maria Moore

It's working fine for me -- are you going to https://www.orbithangar.com/? So it turns out that the reason it's still working for me is because the DNS change was recent, and the change has not yet propagated to the DNS server I'm using. But it's only a matter of time...

BTW the IP address for orbithangar.com is 162.243.75.132.


Oh, and to Orbiter-Forum!

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

Yea, it's down. Hope it's nothing too serious!

While this is being looked in to you can add the following to your hosts file for continued access

162.243.75.132	www.orbithangar.com
162.243.75.132	orbithangar.com

Though remember to remove it when the domain is fixed :lol:

Hi.
Thanks for that Woo482. It works again.

Yep, the orbithangar domain name is tied to the same godaddy account that the forum's primary domain is registered under.

What happened here is that although the domain was set to auto-renew on the 18th, we are as previously mentioned having some issues with PayPal, so they didn't honour the payment. This led to godaddy quietly letting the domain expire, it seems like their alerts only work if you don't have auto-renew on - guess they don't expect that process to fail, ever.

We're in the process of renewing the domain as I type this - apologies for the unexpected LOS on www.orbithangar.com!

Confirming that the domain has been renewed.
