Could someone please explain to me why I would suddenly start receiving a "Server not found" error when trying to access this site: http://backtothebeach.aceboard.com/

At first I thought it might be a firewall or security change on my Windows laptop, so I tried a different computer. Same thing. So I tried via Ubuntu Linux. Same thing. I checked via http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it says the site is up and just down for me.

So I tried accessing the site by my phone and it works fine. What is going on?

Can you ping that address?
Can you telnet to it over port 80?

Since it's occuring on all OS's behind your router (guess - are you using a router?) have you verified you're getting a valid DNS server via DHCP?
 
Okay, I tried pinging the site and got back:
Ping request could not find host backtothebeach.aceboard.com. Please check the name and try again.

That could mean that you can't reach the site from your machine due to DNS problems. Or something network wise is blocking the connection.

Try a tracert as well
 
This is very strange. I can access every website under the sun except anything from the domain aceboard.com.

Can you folks tell me what you see when you try to access the site?
 
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: aceboard.com
Addresses: 213.186.54.43, 213.186.54.34
Aliases: backtothebeach.aceboard.com

I see a forum.
