I know of two multi-million dollar companys that told me today that they use them as well. Plus the fact that Iraq is a new emerging country and maybe they just don't know as much as we do. I didn't know myself that they wern't that good. ???????

i think its a weird way to keep from postin auctions if the figures reported from that banksite were in fact new figures albeit the same price. i believe they pulled it themselves for some bizarre reason because i feel as if it was pulled by another one on the list of sites that were pinged i would think it would have been replaced by a construction page or something.

this is a huge business, an entire country's bank we are talkin about here. its like if our federal reserve site went down completely, do you suppose they would put up some sort of message about it being down or would they just leave it destitute?? we are talkin about a banking BUSINESS here.

defies logic,,,, BUT THEN WE ARE TALKIN ABOUT IRAQIS as everyone likes to say, lol.

But why wouldn't they just leave the current site up, and then have it forward to the new site? This would be the smart thing to do anyway. If they implemented www.cbiraq.iq nobody would find it. Google even takes time to get it in their system. No, I don't see them changing to a different domain. I can believe that they might be revamping the entire system, but even when we make changes to any of our sites, we make the changes to our "local site" on our office server and then upload it all once we test it.

If like many are saying here that there is a power outage in Iraq and affects the the CBI, it shouldn't have ANY effect on the site. We have lost power many times, but our main site is hosted in Florida and even they have a backup on the west coast in case of a power outage that lasts longer than their generators.

In regards to any news from us? Only that we are now leaning back towards a lower reval initially, then adjustments up from there.

Thanks,

PS... SGS, that explains the "gray outs" we get here sometimes. Its all in fun...

... you know it!

Of course it is also a dns problem. If you do the lookup with their dnsservers you get the lookup but not with others. That´s the way it work. It should spread. I guess you don´t know this and you are forgiven for not being the best person in the world in all areas. Sorry you have to bash me for knowing my area. You know a lot that I don´t know. I am good at this. Then also the server is down

Do you know it is the server that responds?

It could be the firewall. Have you done a lookup at port 80?

.336 i believe was the figure that was posted on bank of baghdad and was mistook last year for an upcoming revalue that never happened. that means .336 dinar to the dollar as that is how currencies are quoted against the dollar i believe.

depends on what that oil report says....

The server is not operated by Godaddy. Godaddy is the registrar where the domain name was purchased. This doesn't surprise me at all. Godaddy is a major registrar player. The domain owner can then use Godaddy's control panel to point their domain to any nameserver (DNS) on the internet, which in turn can point to any physical server hosting the website.
