In Nevada Chrome says:

This site can’t be reached
www.wxforum.net’s server IP address could not be found.

Try:
  • Checking the connection
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

Yeah. They had a big issue with their net host a while back and switched to a private server. Now this. Makes me think the new hardware failed.

OK, well, in IL US the site you linked doesnt appear to exist/cant be reached. "ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED" ... maybe they lost the domain?

Domain won't resolve. DNS is set to NS51.1AND1.COM and NS52.1AND1.COM according to the whois so those servers would need to have an A record setup for that domain to point to the server IP or you need to point to another DNS server. It might be ns1.wxforum.net and ns2.wxforum.net, but that's just a wild guess. That's a typical convention though.

1and1 is crap and always has been. That's who they've been having trouble with for years. Curious if 1and1 is having an(other) outage.

It's crossed my mind to get into hosting but trying to compete with these massive cheap hosts is near impossible if I want to deliver something that resembles quality.

Yeah I knew about that. Was talking about actually getting into it myself. A long time ago I actually started coding a control panel then it kind of fell off to the side. Cpanel is freaking expensive.

Works for me from AIS Fiber in Bangkok, Thailand.

Then I disabled WiFi and reloaded the page from AIS "4G" mobile data connection.

Works both ways.
