What Happened to Jupiter Broadcasting?

It looks like their host went down, or the DNS server leading to them got hijacked (or they just forgot to pay their bills). And right now, I can't get onto their site because I'm getting redirected to a stupid 'pay for this domain' page.

    What link are you guys using? My favorited link is giving me a page saying JB's site had expired.

    The link I use: http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/

    ^that's about what I'm getting. There seems to be a sizeable number of people who are getting this. You're the first I've talked to that hasn't gotten this.

    Anyone know what the heck is going on? Chris, Jeremy? Either of you guys know what's happening to your site?

    i just typed Jupiter broadcasting into google and it works perfectly. im no expert on the internet but its more likely a local problem if i can get in ok.

    I highly doubt it's a local problem if multiple people are getting it. Most likely explanations:
    1) Someone has hijacked a router, and is trying to run a scam, and Jupiterbroadcasting is paying the price.
    2) You could be running off a cached version without knowing it (you are the only one who reports still seeing it)
    3)Regional router got taken out by something.
    4) Q did it.

    i thought about the cache thing so i cleared it out and it was fine.

    i then clicked on their live stream and that worked. i dont know what else to say. as far as i can tell its all fine.

    Best thing I can suggest is send the JB team a note, with a picture of what's happening. It could be local, it could be a hacking attempt.

    So, why is it that everyone else (including the stream, which is running on two seperate sites, and is being accessed through google cache by most people) is saying that Bryan dun goofed? Please stop trying to troll.

    All that being said, Bryan has fixed it, but you can't get to it through the google links. *drops the IP link in*

    i am not trying to troll. i have clicked on Jupiter broadcasting and i can access all of the videos. i have just clicked on their live stream and there is a recorded segment about retro games that i have never watched before. i can get into the stoked podcast. as far as i can tell its working for for me. im sorry that its not working for you.

    im sorry for trying to help with some useful information and all you can do is call me a troll.

    sort the problem out yourself then.

    I don't think Revo is trolling; I think he's just saying he still has access through the regular means. I do think there is a problem at the Jupiter Broadcasting site atm, whether through user error or ourside source, I don't care to speculate. I just don't think it's "local."

    And thanks for the alternate site, Richardson.

    Looks like they've changed hosts, and the updated info hasn't propagated to all the global DNS servers yet.

    Assuming of course that the 65.39.148.219 site actually is them, as their IP record is (currently, at least for me) 74.117.222.24, which is DirectNIC, and the former is on ScaleEngine.

    Likely, the DNS server that Revo is accessing for DNS translations already has the updated information.

    Chris just confirmed that they let their old domain expire, and that they're moving domains.

    Crisis averted!

    Thanks for worrying about us, but these things just sometimes happen on the internet. We should be back up and running globally now. If the site's not accessible in your area, it will be soon.
