Thankyou for your assistance John.

The problem appears to have been addressed. A hold was placed on our domain which meant that it was dropped from the nameservers until the hold was resolved. As a result, anyone using the URL http://www.audioheritage.org to access the site or forum would be blocked from access.

The specific problem was due to an issue between the registrar of record and the company that I renewed the domain with since I just discovered that they are not the same. I renewed audioheritage.org in April 2004 for two years with a company called Becamamtion (our original ISP). It turns out that they are a reseller for the registrar of record, a company called OLM. OLM's records only showed a renewal for one year with an expirary date of April 24, 2005. On Sunday, they pulled the plug on the site for having past the expiration date.

I couldn't do anything about this until this morning when the companies in question were open for business. Becamation claimed that the problem lies with OLM and that they would sort it out with them. Just before posting this, I checked the registration status and the hold has been lifted. It will take time for the nameservers around the world to update. Over the next 24 hours, normal access should resume for everyone. It already has for me.
