Works for me both ways, although yesterday afternoon the domain name showed the apache test page which suggests that DNS records were being updated, or a DNS server was down somewhere close to your host.

Christian, try typing in your numerical IP and email about 50 times a day. My site means a lot to me and I hate it being down

What DNS servers are you using?

Try using BTs

194.72.6.51
194.72.6.52

Your site works for me.

Also, both ns.hostservers.co.uk and ns2.hostservers.co.uk resolve the domain correctly.

You may have a caching issue! Have you removed all temp files/cleared cache etc?

Chap, daft question but you're not trying to access the site via DNS in the same building that the server is in ??

If so you need to have an internal DNS server giving its private IP address (not public) or have a host entry in you local hosts file..

This is a long shot. Is your PC or network domain the same name as your domain name?

Both work fine now people. It must have been a DNS issue. Thanks for all your help and advice.
