(Posted by Victoria O'Staff) Tue, Apr 04 2006 -- 9:36 AM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Solutions, a company which is both one of the main Internet domain registrars and a large provider of DNS hosting services, is completely down. This means that any domain they perform DNS services for (even if the domain's web site, email, etc. is hosted elsewhere) is, in a word, hosed. If you are unable to reach a given web site or send email to a certain address today, it is entirely likely that this is the cause.
(This is solely a public service announcement; the problem has nothing to do with Panix--we have no relationship with nor services from Network Solutions.)
