www.OnlineNIC.com

Hi, I've been trying to get to www.OnlineNIC.com for a few days now.

Is it just me who can't see their site?

I've even tried connecting via proxy but no luck so far.

Is anyone else able to see www.OnlineNIC.com at the moment?

Yes, I can.
It says in Chinese, you need to accept cookies and you need to make sure you activate the 443 gateway (https).
I don't know if it is the problem but I wonder if you can tell me what their prices are.
Never used them before.

I have 1 domain at OnlineNic.com. Not sure what nation they are in.

Their website has frequent down-time over past few days with Whois changes not being done but not sure why. They appear to have an odd operation with quite unusual procedures and they use strangely worded support emails.

They are based in China, although they have an address in the USA.

I've done some traces, and from Australia, the last two machines that are showing a lot of packet loss are

Tracing route to onlinenic.com [218.107.207.5]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
[snip]
15 529 ms * * 218.107.221.10
16 464 ms * 573 ms 218.104.128.162

The last IP shows this information when looked up via dnstools.com
218.104.128.162 is located in [image of China flag]

The only way I managed to connect to OnlineNIC at the moment (although still sporadic) is by setting up a secure proxy on one of my servers in the USA.

Still cannot connect from Australia, I am on ADSL2+ connection, trace fails with packet loss once entering China.

I have several hundred domains with OnlineNIC and the price is great, and their service has been pretty good to date. I have put up with slowness of website, but this outage is unacceptable.

Depending on how much of a problem this becomes, I might move over to usin the new RegisterFly API (assuming the special API-only pricing is going to stay in place permanently)




[next day update:]

All I can see now when going to
http://www.onlinenic.com/index.php

is this plain text message and nothing else:


URI '/' only

Will try telephoning them now.

Seems that onlinenic has sorted out their bandwidht provisioning problem (or whatever it was...) and the site is accessible and responds quickly as of today.
