Thank you for authenticating. Could you please provide me with the URL where you are experiencing the issue?

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:51 p.m. customer
2 websites:  brenprice.com and touchstoneinn.com

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:55 p.m. Agent
Thank you for the domain names. Could you please tell me, when was the last time your website was working?

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:56 p.m. customer
IDK maybe a month ago; I renewed several sites around Oct 7; perhaps there was a billing error that left out something?? mytaosbedandbreakfast and brenpriceart were not renewed but perhaps are crucial???

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:57 p.m. customer
I renewed brenprice.comtouchstoneinn.com, and touchstonefoundation.org, and worldwatchingwoman.org

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:59 p.m. Agent

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:59 p.m. Agent
Is that same error on your end?

Oct. 29, 2023, 5:59 p.m. customer
on my end it just says: this site cannot be reached

Oct. 29, 2023, 6 p.m. Agent
Thank you for the information. Have you made any changes to the DNS records recently?

Oct. 29, 2023, 6 p.m. customer
NO

Oct. 29, 2023, 6 p.m. customer
I am almost 80; I know next to nothing about websites, internet, etc

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:01 p.m. Agent
Thanks for letting me know. Let me check it. Please be on hold for 3-4 minutes.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:01 p.m. customer
ok, thank you

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:15 p.m. Agent
I apologize for the chat delay. The issue was due to sitelock cdn IP. There is no active sitelock cdn present but the IP is pointing to sitelock cdn, that is why it is causing issue. Shall I change the IP back to account IP?

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:16 p.m. customer
If that will work

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:22 p.m. Agent
Thank you for your confirmation. I have updated the IP, it takes time for propagation. Propagation time can vary depending on the geographical location. Normally, the domain DNS takes 0-8 hours and is known to take up to 48 hours maximum to completely propagate.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:23 p.m. customer
ok, thank you; I will be patient and check back tomorrow.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:26 p.m. Agent
If you have anymore questions for me, I am here to assist you.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:27 p.m. customer
No, I just hope this works – is the problem because I did not renew mytaosbedandbreakfast.com and brenpriceart.com?

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:28 p.m. Agent
It isn’t due to renewal.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:28 p.m. customer
ok, I will check back later to see if they are working

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:29 p.m. Agent
It was due to sitelock cdn. The sitelock cdn basic product doesn’t exists for those domain and dns is pointing to sitelock cdn IP, that is why website isn’t working. It will work after propagation is done.

Oct. 29, 2023, 6:29 p.m. customer
