So I see. It was fine a minute ago. Maybe some maintenance on the database?

Network Solutions seems to have screwed up and dropped the domain from DNS. We've gotten things straightened out and therefore it should be back up within a couple hours at the earliest and then can take up to 48 hours to propagate, depending on where you are.

Sorry folks.

haha i was just going to ask the same thing Johanne! If it's just a DNS issue we should be able to get there with the IP address.

everything should be working again here now. it will take a few for dns to propagate out. in the interim, you can add the following entries to your windows hosts file in order to get to the site:

216.234.161.182 www.deviantart.com
216.234.161.182 www1.deviantart.com
216.234.161.242 www2.deviantart.com
216.234.161.243 images.deviantart.com
216.234.161.182 files.deviantart.com
216.234.161.182 YOUR_USERNAME.deviantart.com

You cant surf to the IP because doing that will merely display the default website, since we're using name based hosting not IP based hosting.

Thanks everyone!
