Been trying to access Alan Smith's SCI forum - it was there recently but now getting "site not found" message. Anyone have any insight?

It hasn't been up since Sunday. I keep getting the same error message, but I don't know what's behind it.

I checked some things here - since I have a bit of experience with this sort of stuff.
https://www.isitdown...trated.com.html
Website Name:
slotcarillustrated.comURL Checked:
no responseResponse Time:
~4 days 7 hoursDown For:
DOWN
Slotcarillustrated.com is DOWN
It is not just you. The server is not responding...
The name is registered at a registrar I never heard of, "namecheap.com"
and the domain itself is registered through 2021.
it appears there's no DNS being pushed out for the website. But the DNS servers are both listed as being part of the domain itself, and also don't have any DNS pointing to them.
Thoughts on this: a change to the info in DNS that was done incorrectly, or suspension by the host of the site seem to be the 2 most likely issues. It's also possible that the host themselves is having an issue.
If anyone knows the owner and wants to get any help, lemme know, I'll be glad to help.

Just watched his Facebook live broadcast. Apparently they lost two servers overseas. Not an issue with them stateside, just servers that are gone.

SCI is what got me back into slot car racing and I have spent a lot of time and “met” some truly wonderful people there over the years. I like Alan a lot and hope he manages to get this straightened out, there is a lot of good info and some great memories on that site.

Alan not only has his SCI board on those servers, I believe his mailorder site is there too,, unless he split them off last time he had problems.
