  Hello. Horrible problem. I have two sites both of which have gone down. Absolutely urgent that this doesn’t happen. One is http://www.driftmine.org and the other is http://www.deborahtalbot.com. What an earth is happening?

  Hey,

  Seems like both of these websites aren’t hosted at WordPress.com. DNS lookup shows they’re with smarthosting.co.uk, so the best route would be to contact the folks where these sites are hosted.

  On the other hand, if you were trying to map both of these domains to WordPress.com blogs and had just changed your name servers, it could take up to 72 hours for things to settle down.

  Thanks Ehtis. We have contacted them. The sites appear to be back up again but are being slow. Panic over, I hope!
