Complete email server collapse a week before the start of term at University of Melbourne.
Many students not knowing what classes they are in etc..
No wonder you outsource your IT queries.

At the consumer end here the index.php route into the website is down when the .info route does not work..
the specific articles also dont work if .info is down.

from where i am sitting it looks like a directing error.
transfer domain to yahoo to sync them up would be my advice, then you can just deal with yahoo if there are further problems.
Or go to the IT department at unimelb and get them to monitor it, and give you specifics. you do discuss matters relating to their future here, so they should be glad to help unless of course they have been toking on the left.

The problem has nothing to do with PlanetDomain. All they do is purchase the domain from the registry (in this case Afilias), and store the names of your nameservers (yns1.yahoo.com/yns2.yahoo.com) in Afilias’s database. Yahoo’s nameservers are working correctly, as far as I can see. They offer a number of IP addresses to find your site (all 68.142.212.*), which seem to work when I test them, but that doesn’t rule out a problem. It is almost certainly either a network configuration error or a webserver error at Yahoo’s end - if your findings regarding the urls are correct the latter is more probable.

I’m not convinced that the problem is at the Planet Domain end.

If it’s true that pointing to a specific page works better than pointing to the bare URL, then it may be an Apache or htaccess problem. This is something that Yahoo! should be able to investigate for you, as their server will have logs that they can analyse to see whether there’s a bottleneck somewhere.

Just transfer the domain at the yahoo store.. It should be seamless
Leave the hosting with yahoo.
It is probably a directing problem by the sounds of it.

I started some of Melbourne’s bigger web media providers with their 1st computer and training, so you are going right back to the source here rather than outsourcing to Banglore.
