I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, not knowing the webserver configuration, but..

Various 'websites' are hosted on that IP address - images.omegaowners.com for example.

The only way the server can tell which one it should be servicing is via the Host: header - that means you can only go to it using a browser via your host name (martinimber.omegaowners.com) and not via IP address, as the IP doesn't uniquely identify your website, just the server.

Does that help?

Do you host the http server?

It's giving a 404 on http://69.163.225.236/index.htm.  Has it gone missing?

Same server as OOF images and it was working until recently.

Jaime will probably know as all I can find insinuates rebooting or rebooted servers

Oh I see it now - your website is www.martinimber.co.uk, not the link in your post..

FWIW, www.martinimber.co.uk works just fine for me.

That is using web forwarding and not A DNS records as it used to be

I can't see a problem, myself. The server has virtual hosts, as Aaron says, so you have the give it a clue what it needs to serve, so can't redirect to the IP address alone. That would break if the Ip address changed anyway.

Both Links work for me.

As said I fudged it at tea time

What used to work was this on "Change DNS for martinimber.co.uk"

Name - www
Type - A
Content - 69.163.225.236


But now it comes up with the error on the first post.

The server would have to have had a virtual host configured for both of your domain names, pointing at your web space. Only way an A record would have worked unless I'm missing something.

Works for me...   ...must have been a temp glitch.  Your site and your site's IP hasn't changed.

bad_http is normally caused by an unknown host header, so server side.
