Hi Nathan, I've used the site you suggested and it came up with this: 118.92.107.221. It is not my service provider, but may help.

Thank you.

[Leon Du Plessis]

Nathan I just checked now and I am able to access the site now. I am not sure what changed, but it is working. Have you considered breaking your course up, so one can pay as you go to make it more affordable?

[Nathan Giffin Vertical Artisans]

yes and forthcoming

 

[Leon Du Plessis]

Thank you for considering. You could still keep the yearly subscription as per 2nd year and break the course up. It is a win win situation for all. You will also get more people subscribing. Just a thought. Thanx

[Justin Elms]

I will definitely be interested in this as well.

Hi Leon,

I can try and assist. Can you ping the website.

 

In Windows, select Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. This will give you a black window

Enter the word ping, followed by a space, then the domain name.

i.e: ping www.verticalartisans.com

 

If the results show a series of replies, the connection is working.

Pinging www.verticalartisans.com [209.120.219.49] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 209.120.219.49: bytes=32 time=338ms TTL=51

 

The time shows you how fast the connection is. If you see a "timed out" error instead of a reply, there is a breakdown somewhere between your computer and the domain. This generally is a DNS issue. If this is the case, I would contact your ISP.
