We are having a few problems with the DNS entries at the moment, you can try using the following IP address instead of typing the web address in as a short term fix:

217.155.56.220

Logging on using the IP address in the URL means the cookie used to recognise your logged-in "for good" status is not picked up and you'll be a guest until you log in again. Took me a minute or two to realise what was going on.

Has the ISP that holds the domain completely cocked up then? The DNS wouldn't just change the A records to a random advertising site for no reason!!

Cannot entirely blame Hosting-Unlimited this time, only LB66 ;D.  In LB's defence, they never sent him any warnings about what would happen.

In a couple of months we will take measures to reduce the chances of this reoccurring.

Is this a roundabout way of Saying the Domain has expired?  :-X

My work HOSTS is immense, but instead of 127.0.0.1 on some I have redirected to BBC so any porn surfers who borrow my PC will have a surprise.

I don't like adverts or other junk, nor tracking cookies

Well known and useful trick for home use, most medium/large companies, that won't work ;)
