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...

Problem obviously solved. If you still can't access it then see Sleepless' advice.

And I don't think it's wise calling forum moderators morons.

I've seen NO Problem with Bitzi since the OP posted 2 days ago. I've accessed their website several times a day for 2 days, just to see if what your claiming is true.

Lies all Lies LOL

I see dustafo, the brilliant web designer/computer programmer, missed his class about how to bypass incorrect DNS.

If using Windows XP/Vista (There are ways on any operating system, but I use XP and Vista, so someone else can fill that in):

Go to [System Root]\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Open the file called hosts(no extension) in notepad.

At the bottom add one of these lines,not both, and save:

Code:
209.237.228.138  bitzi.com

209.237.228.138  www.bitzi.com
Restart your browser

BTW, this should even work for Limewire bitzi lookup, at least it does for several other better programs. To be honest, I don't use Limewire.
