123-reg nameserver problems
There has been a problem with 123 reg’s nameservers for most of today such that they aren’t responding to DNS queries.
This is pretty severe as it means anyone trying to access a site pointed at those nameservers will not be able to resolve the domain name to an IP address, and will be given a Server not found error. It will also affect any e-mails to those domains.
On their status page, they say:
17/11/2007, 09:15 - We are currently aware of a problem regarding 123-reg nameservers which in turn is affecting the visibility of websites and services such as email. At present, we have engineers looking into this as a matter of urgency. Please be assured we are working to rectify this issue as a priority and hope to resume normal service as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience in the mean time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

I tested out the new domain name transfer system on Livetodot this week and it works a treat!

I transferred 10 .co.uk names, 1 .org name and 6 .com’s. I like the way you can enter one big list of domains to transfer. I also like the fact that you can change the registrant for .com’s as most of the addresses on my names are out of date.
