I have lost bitzi as well
 
bitzi was working for me 2 days ago... but now I am just getting that stupid web-page that brand19 indicated. Are there any other websites similar to bitzi?

I am not a fvcktard, I am a web designer and computer programmer. This is a ISP/DNS issue. Sometimes it takes Internet Service Providers up to 3 days to take note of a change in the DNS for a given domain name. Other ISP's pick it up pretty quick. For some of us, our ISP's have picked up the change already, and when we visit bitzi.com we are directed to the I'matard.com IP address and a page that says 'this domain has expired'. For those of you with slower ISP's that do not update their DNS data quickly, they are still sending you to the bitzi.com IP address when you type bitzi.com and in another day or two, when your ISP has updated their DNS records, you too will be sent to I'matard.com. Nobody is stupid here, we are all seeing what we say we are, and I am not a fvcktard

All you have to do is go to a site that shows whois records for domain names, you will see bitzi.com expired within the last few days.

Well I haven't looked anything up in Bitzi for at least a year, so the search I just made on Bitzi with results showing is clearly not from cache.

Try a different browser maybe, or switch your "safe" dns to normal DNS. Your security suite could also be the culprit, if it incorporates "safe browsing".

a note from bitzi:

Missed communications with our registrar caused the domain to erroneously enter 'expired' status for a brief period. The problem should be fixed now, but due to the nature of the domain name system it will take a number of hours to everyone to again see the domain.

FYI, for the future, you will also usually be able to access Bitzi via the domain 'bitzi.org', which is at a different registrar and renewed on a different period.

More details for the interested:

Our domain was on auto-renew, *and* a few days before the expiration I made sure to renew manually, seeing a confirmation page from our registrar.

However, the day *after* the expiration date, several days after manual renewal (and while I was traveling) an email was sent indicating there had been a payment problem, and the 'bitzi.com' domain was soon after reverted to the registrar's parking page. After receiving a phone call about the expiration, I was able to correct the payment problem with the registrar immediately.

Bitzi Bitzi General Discussion: Apologies for temporary 'bitzi.com' domain outage

my sentiments are of the type that this company that says they have the domain name for sale are thieves...scum...father raping seven fathered sons of wh0res...typical life in today's world where people are being rewarded for failed risks and the real workers are being shafted...

Well anyone having a DNS update problem can just add the IP to hosts file

stop trying to give solutions, the domain name has expired, nobody can 'fix' this but bitzi, by paying for the domain name for another year

Bitzi.com is gone, and until they can afford to throw down 10 bucks for another year of domain hosting, the original poster is correct, it is gone. And yes limewire sux without it.

I clear my cache multiple times each day...

that was a completely moronic statment...

Sleepless sagely indicated a way of dealing with improper DNS records, and you spit in his face...fvcktard....its obvious that others need to clear their caches, not those of us who can properly get to the page and use it..
