ZeroSSL not working (offline) (edit: Works again - new ip)

Hi,

tried to access ZeroSSL website today, seems that it is down.
Will it be back online some time or is it forever gone? @leader

Thanks for your Info.
Cheers

Hi @AR84

looks like there is a problem with the name servers.

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
zerossl.com Name Error yes 1 0
www.zerossl.com Name Error yes 1 0
zerossl.com A 5.189.131.117 Frankfurt am Main/Hesse/Germany (DE) - Contabo GmbH No Hostname found no

The non-authoritative ip address works and answers correct.

a.gtld-servers.net., one of the com zone servers, says

zerossl.com nameserver = ns1.dnsowl.com
zerossl.com nameserver = ns2.dnsowl.com
zerossl.com nameserver = ns3.dnsowl.com

But checking one of these name servers ->

nslookup zerossl.com. 104.207.141.138 -> Non-existent domain.

PS: Now, half hour later, the non-authoritative ip address is gone.

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
zerossl.com Name Error yes 1 0
www.zerossl.com Name Error yes 1 0

It is in process of moving to another registrar and looks like that registrar does not preserve/fix some records.

Upd: The process should now be complete and the site should be resolvable again. Please give it a go.

Perfect, thanks a lot for the Info. Adding the IP to the host file solved it for me

Yep, now my local machine shows a new ip - 174.138.41.18

PS: @AR84 - now remove the hosts entry with the - now - old ip.

PPS: Edited the topic title
