First of all I would like to thank you hosting members for staying patient during these difficult times.
Xistosupport.com announced Data Center (DC) migration to bigger facility for the growing demand. This is to provide much more reliable service to all free web hosting members. However it did not go smoothly as server technicians hoped. Even with their relentless efforts to bring the service back online there are some known issues which I'd like to address.
The first issue is that those with TLD (top level domain) will notice that pining their domain names shows old hosting IP (64.69.46.210). There's nothing at your end can be done since I believe it's at the hosting server's end. I am only guessing this because I have not received any official answer from the support team. But you will notice that hosting members with Tra17 sub-domain gained full access to their hostings.
You can access your cpanel (for those with TLD) by 208.87.243.146/cpanel Use your cpanel username and password and you will be able to access your cpanel. gamma.xisto.com/~cpanelUSERNAME will also show your site up and running. And thus, I believe the problem is with DNS resolution at the server end. And since I do not have the official answer I will state this unless I am corrected, otherwise.
The second issue is changing of name server IPs. If you are using the current and correct name servers you do not need to worry. For those who are using IP address rather than name server alias please double check your setting.
ns.computinghost.com retaining IP 67.19.253.52 ns2.computinghost.com retaining IP 208.87.241.124
The third is try to flush your DNS. If you open your command window and ping your domain name and shows old IP please flush DNS by:
CONSOLE
ipconfig /flushdns
And ping your domain again. It should reply back with 208.87.243.146
I was requested by our fellow hosting members to just give some information to go by, instead of left out in the dark. I will update as more information is available.
The hindsight is 20/20. Yes, they acknowledge that the forum should also carried this important announcement. They also ask for your understanding and continuing support.
Thank you.
PS You can bypass propagation or resolution period by editing HOSTS file. For more information on bypassing DNS propagation or resolution period please try the following:
Amend the following to your HOSTS file (there are two under Windows XP. HOSTS file does not have any extension where as hosts.ics is NOT to be touched. You can see the full extension by Tools>>Folder Options>>View>>unchecking "Hide extensions for known file types")
Save it, close all your browsers and reopen them to your site. It should work now.
PPS!!! Don't forget to remove the appended change once DNS is resolved fully. vujsa just pointed out that if we happen to change our IP address again, you don't want to be stuck with the old IP.
I'm a bit lost at the moment.... My trap17 subdomain is working, but my parked domain is not working. That's because of a change in name servers right? So in order to get my parked domain working I have to change my name server IPs. How do I do that?
sorry I'm still confused. Do we have to do all that ip stuff only if our domain is configured with ip add? Is all this supposed to help me to view my website? Anyway I tried to access my website with http://gamma.xisto.com/~cpanelBISHOUJO but it didn't work I can access my cpanel though.
I removed my parked domain and tried to readd it in cpanel but i get this error
CODE
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 67.19.253.52,208.87.241.124 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.
thanks my trap17 subdomain is working now and my cPanel but my uni.cc domain isn't working so i guess i have to wait a little bit longger, so for now i guess until the problem is resolved i'll use it as a forward. please announce when it's fixed so i can change it back thanks in advance.
I have problems now with accessing my account on the computing host. Can anyone help me out how should I procede.
The thing is that when I try to login or reset my password it returns me information that e mail account doesn't exist in their database.
Are you trying to reset your cpanel password of ComputingHost hosting account or billing account? It may be premature to reset cpanel password for now.

Access your domain control and change name servers to
ns.computinghost.com ns2.computinghost.com
If IPs are asked to provide provide the following IP addresses
67.19.253.52 208.87.241.124
Domain control is through the registrar that you initially purchased your domain name. If I can have your domain name you're trying to add-on perhaps I can have clearer idea.

Bishoujo, try just gamma.xisto.com/~bishoujo
It was meant to be "cpanelUSERNAME" as in your cpanel username. All lower case please
Access your domain control and change name servers to
ns.computinghost.com ns2.computinghost.com

67.19.253.52 208.87.241.124

My nameservers are already pointed to ns.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com(I bought my domain from xidomains anyway). I re-added my domain name and it is still not working. It just times out. How do I get it to work ? If it helps, my domain name is rmxpunlimited.net.
BuffaloHELP missed a major point as well, because of the servers changes and what not you need to clear your browser cache since that data is out of date and no longer able to connect to the old IP numbers. So make sure to clear all your browsers caches and that should help with some of the problems as well.
Follow the instructions posted above re: delete and re-add the parked or add-on domains. Alternately, use the Live Chat feature at xistosupport.com
lol now I have another problem I am not able to access my computer host account that is probably one more ticket since I cannot do password recovery. I will try to do something about it.

This is edit on 20.may 2008
I would like to thank everyone that helped me my site is up and running and it is visible from every computer now. And I would like to send special thanks to Velma(cannot send it via PM since she has full pmbox). And to support for every boring ticket I have submitted and to online support that has fixed problem really quick.
I must admit part of the problem was also with me not following all the instructions and methods provided.
So I use this opportunity to thank you all at trap17 aand computing host.
I writing again since noone answered on my support ticket and my site is now really long time down.
OPlease can some one try to do something about that since I cannot access my panel I have obtained free domain name with trap17, and there is one more thing when I try I am able to access this site: http://blog.zedsi.trap17.com/ but not this one: http://blog.zedsi.com/
hi Admin..thanks for approving my hosting request.. i recently created my hosting account and i never encountered any problems.. i'm not adept to all those server jargons but i find it nice that we have individuals that are always ready if any glitch on the servers come up.. anyway, thank you for having a great free hosting service.. have a nice day
Your domain is pup4u dot com? If it's parked or add-on, try detaching it first and then re-park or add-on as jlhaslip and rvalkass mentioned. It worked for me. You'll note that domainname dot com will work while www.domainname dot com would not. Give about 24 hours and it should right itself.
the domain is already pointed to an ip address that does not appear to use dns servers associated with this server. - 28.81 hr back. (1)

Dear Members, Today, I found out the culprit who was suspending our free web hosting accounts :-)
It was no other than our OLD EPSILON server on which this forum was hosted. 10 days ago, we had
shifted this forum to a new server with a FASTER Board and processor. The old server had its CRON
service active and services were still running on it. The old EPSILON server never got any NEW POSTS
and hence, the credits did not increase. As a result, All members who got suspended on the old
server were suspended on GAMMA (our free hosting server). For security reasons, accoun...
Dear Members, Yesterday, I fixed the credit system processing cron which took care of suspending /

send me a PM. Thank you for your continued support and patience :-) Sincerely, Shree Trap17.com...
Hi Team and Members, I am trying my best to complete the Credit System for Invision version 2.1.4.
Managing ComputingHost and especially looking after the servers is very much time consuming.
QUOTE Why is it taking soo much time, When you had it ready for 2.0.X? The update is taking a
lot of time because 2.1.X has a totally new framework. There are new classes and the old codes
don't match in their regular position. Secondly, I usually use Structured approach rather than
Object Oriented. Even though, things worked best previously, they are getting complicate...
Dear Members, Our Server GAMMA is undergoing a Hard drive change. Some sectors of the Hard disk

drive. Mounting this drive as primary. The entire process can take anywhere from 5-8 hours. We
will try our level best to restore things as fast as possible. Thank you for your support and a...

Hi, We have moved Trap17 forums to a new server. You might ask, why this new server when we already
had a dedicated server for the forums. The answer is, server DELTA was lagging behind and we needed
something more powerful. Because of which, we setup a new DUAL server for Trap17. We tried our
best to optimize it and I hope, the forums are smooth again. You might have observed a small
downtime recently and wierd results with the MEMBERS ONLINE statistics. That was because, we used IP
forward to remove the downtime. So, queries to the old IP was automatically forwared...

with 3GB Bandwidth, 30 hosting credit. Part 1 is for hosted members. The changes are to the
packages and to the way they are obtained, users with package one have no changes. If you have ...
OK, the confusion is when those who got hosting under the old rules see the question "How Many
Hosting Credits Do I Need To Get Hosted?" The following rules are for initial hosting and not for
upgrading an existing account. By the “new” rules you need to have a minimum of 10 hosting credits
to receive hosting Package 1 also known as the “Starter Package”. The nest step for initial hosting
is when you need more space. This need mere effort on your part with quality posts and you can then
apply for package 2 when you have 30 hosting credits. You have to show that you ha...
