Safwah Islamic Network Forums

I know you all noticed that, but I'm starting to worry since no one has confirmed if the Forum was backed up or not, I know that if they're re-uploading the DB again it would take them some time to finish up but if it goes for 2 other days without seeing a sign then I have to start worrying there's something wrong wALLAHu al Musta'an, what's killing me is that Abuz-Zubair didn't publish anything on the main page that should help hundreds of fellow brothers and sisters feel relieved.

Insha'a ALLAH we'll hear something great so soon.

It seems like IA has moved out to a US based server, and the main page is no longer showing, I don't think somebody's bought the domaine name because it was locked the last time I've checked the who.is info and it wasn't allowing the Transfer and even now it still shows the same encrypted contact email so I guess the owners have changed the host insha'a ALLAH, it's becoming like watching a "Jason" Friday Night movie!

interesting :/ ...

Seriously, I don't understand how a website works. Care to explain Plz. in layman terms : )

... to make it easier/ save you sometime I know:

1. You buy a domain name - and you can normally buy them for one or two years

2. that's it, Lol.

I presume you need some type of web space to upload stuff onto the website.

Yep, when you want just to make a web site you have to find a good company that suits you and check the Package and the price you would like to have and pay them and they would set everything for you, that easy, so that you won't need to do some more things.

For now you can see IslamicAwakening info from here:
islamicawakening.com Whois - islamic awakening - Who.is

And you can notice that the new IP is a US IP not a UK one:

The IP Info is from 69.175.20.250 - Who.is :
For the full DNS records, check here Islamicawakening.com DNS and Name Server Lookup - Who.is :

Though I can see that they still point their website content to the old UK server, which is told by the A Record ():
I don't know what to say, is it a good or a bad thing, ALLAHu A'lam.

P.S:
I'm not sure if they were pointing to a US IP before what I'm sure the DNS was:
ns.web-epoch.com
ns2.web-epoch.com

And now it's:
ns1.pipedns.com
ns2.pipedns.com
ns3.pipedns.com

And

dns1.name-services.com
dns2.name-services.com
dns3.name-services.com
dns4.name-services.com
dns5.name-services.com

Yeah they're asking for a password and a user name, and I tried my log in details, but it doesn't work. Anyone got access to IA forums yet?

Nope, that wasn't the Forum's password but the .htpassword password instead, that's a way how webmasters protect certain directory from being accessed (ex: http://italk.safwah.net/admincp ), in IA's case may be they've installed the Forum but they haven't finished the uploading of the DB, so they won't let anybody mess with it now by subscribing or posting till it fit in its new place.

You can relax now insha'a ALLAH, it has to be a matter of time now.
