Sorry about that. The DNS server went down.

I was forced to change DNS companies and it took awile for the changes to take in effect.

For anyone that does not know what a DNS server is ... I'll try and explain it.

When you type in "www.pogocheats.net" in to your address bar, it goes to the DNS server first. The DNS server resolves www.pogocheats.net to an IP address. When it gets that IP address, it goes to our main server (what you are on now and displays what your reading now).

Without the DNS server, it does not know where to go and that's why you weren't able to access the site.

My mistake was relying on one DNS server to resolve the IP address. I have fixed that and I now how a backup DNS server that it will automatically use if the other goes down .. we won't have that problem again.
