a quick phone call to godaddy and i talked to a guy named chris .. he couldnt go into a whole lot of detail becuase im not the account holder but he did say that it wasnt a DNS issue but an issue on domain holders side ( he used the word setting ) but the problem was not on there end now we no that someone other than the governement of iraq is the domain holder ( or at least use to be ) now he couldnt tell me if it was delibrate or accidently ( not being the account holder ) but again he did say it wasnt on godaddy's end .. could be a billing issue could be something else ..

Guys, just some more insight, I am a Network Engineer by trade (5 years), I deal with this stuff all the time. This is an issue at the location of the CBI site. Not Go Daddy. This is what you would call a "hard down" outage. The server that hosts the website is off/disabled/disconnected/down. This could be due to maintenance/equipment problems, or some "other" plan. We won't know until the site is up. Also, wasn't it posted in a previous thread that business located in the local area of the CBI are shutdown. Could have something to do with that.

Wow, that is a perplexing statement.... I hope you have enough cash on hand to pay for the order if the reval happens between now and then!

Could end up costing you a Million +++

But then again, you can claim you never ordered them....

Is my glass always FULL or what????

Humm . . . I mentioned a few hrs. ago that the CBI might have shut it down themselves . . . for God knows what reason . . .

The fact that they don't have one of those *under going changes . . . or work in progress* deals could be because they are apparently not the swiftest AT guys . . .

Who know . . . guess we'll find out sooner or later . . . BUT it isn't good for business to have a *unable* to find site banner up for over 11 hrs. . . .

that goes along with what i thinking its not a problem on godaddys end but he did say it was on there end .. they could have shut it down just because .. and IED could have blown up the pc .. or they can be moving the server . the point i was trying to make was tha go daddy said it wasnt on there end and it wasnt a DNS error as suggested ..

I would hope that if it was hardware related they would have a backup server some where........I am going with some"other" problem

OK, so if the CBI doesn't have current posted rates...Whoes trading? and at what rate...yesterdays? Has anyone tried to call the bank or e-mail them to see what is up and if they are open and what the rates are? Life has to go on...it's tuedsay

First of all TY for this post, awesome!!!

The last part is what I am repling to, and not trying to condesend at all just thinking through this.

My thoughts on this are if they were going to shut businesses they would just block of all foot and vehicle traffic, and not shut down the power to the businesses, esp a bank, that just wouldnt happen unless security wasn't an issue, and at banks, security is usually high up on the list of concerns. Does that make sense to anyone else, or am I alone in thinking this way?

I agree 100%....that was my thinking on the hardware issue.....No bank would run on a single server with out backup hardware/software in place.....over here we call it disaster recovery
