Query about URL for site

Meta Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Mods

Hello Admin Team,

Greetings !!

I was not able to login to the site as URL for unix.com was not up. Sorry to bother you, could you please let us know if there was any issue with the link or it was a preplanned outage. Happy that URL is up and fine now and we can start learning as usual.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi Admin Team,

I noticed that I was unable to ping the IP as well if that provides any worthwhile information.

[~] 
(16:27:09)-(sc386dm)-(673)-> nslookup unix.com
Server:		10.143.253.240
Address:	10.143.253.240#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	unix.com
Address: 4.59.125.171


[~] 
(08:43:55)-(sc386dm)-(674)-> ping 4.59.125.171
PING 4.59.125.171 (4.59.125.171) 56(84) bytes of data.

Sorry about that.

Level3 performed an unscheduled maintenance on their network (from a customer point-of -view) and did not provide advanced notice to their customers.

All seems back to normal now.
