What is wrong with LowEndTalk's frontpage?

edited August 2013 in General

Once in a time, I run into an odd parked domain, stating LowEndTalk doesn't exist. Why is this webpage being redirected so vaguely? Any more users in here who had the same problem?

    I can't see the image either, but I know what you're talking about because I have had it before.

  • skaska Member

    Never had this. Maybe it's your DNS?

  • HassanHassan Member, Patron Provider

    I haven't seen this yet either

    I only have it with LET. Even on my iPhone.

  • A bit of Googling shows up that it has something to do with dnsmadeeasy.com

    I don't use DNS Made Easy. I'm just on my Telfort connection.

  • Oh, the lowendtalk nameservers are dnsmadeeasy.

  • Never had this happen.

    Is anyone able to duplicate this?

  • DNS Hijacking from your ISP most likely. Are you connecting from your wifi on iPhone?

  • The main problem I see with LET's front page is that it is 11 pages long and the Twitter button at the bottom of the page doesn't display correctly..

  • I haven't had any issues like this today.

  • Had the same problem yesterday, happend 2 times before.

    And you got that when visiting http://lowendtalk.com/ ?

    I got this too a few minutes ago. And looking at http://intodns.com/lowendtalk.com the things don't look well.

    I'd suggest dropping dnsmadeeasy.

    edit: currently at the registrar the domain is pointed to ns1.colocrossing.com and ns2.colocrossing.com. These two name servers however report that the authoritive name servers for the domain are at dnsmadeeasy.com. This should be fixed.

  • ns1.colocrossing.com and ns2.colocrossing.com

    2 nameservers sharing the same IP address. //facepalm

    You might want to fix this too: from solvedns.com:

    WARNING Your domain name does not appear to have an SPF record. This makes it vulnerable to email spoofing.

    That's your main client?

    I use it also frequently, it's faster and it only shows me what I need to see. Lately however, I have started to use links.

    Well, to be frank: the person who has set-up the dns for lowendtalk.com and colocrossing.com has either not done any dns-setup before or doesn't know how to make proper dns-settings.

    1. the authoritive nameservers in the registry are not the one that are listet as authoritive nameservers in the ns-record

    dig ns lowendtalk.com

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    lowendtalk.com.         86400   IN      NS      ns5.dnsmadeeasy.com.
    lowendtalk.com.         86400   IN      NS      ns6.dnsmadeeasy.com. 
    lowendtalk.com.         86400   IN      NS      ns7.dnsmadeeasy.com.
    

    whois lowendtalk.com

    Domain Name: LOWENDTALK.COM
    Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
    Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
    Name Server: NS1.COLOCROSSING.COM
    Name Server: NS2.COLOCROSSING.COM
    

    2. using nameservers within the domain in question without any glue-record

    3. using the same ip for the two nameserver entries

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    ns1.colocrossing.com.   13376   IN      A       198.46.128.18
    
    ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
    colocrossing.com.       171774  IN      NS      ns1.colocrossing.com.
    colocrossing.com.       171774  IN      NS      ns2.colocrossing.com.
        
    ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
    ns2.colocrossing.com.   13374   IN      A       198.46.128.18
  • Yeah, those records aren't looking too good.
