     Hello again everyone, I have had about 3 more occasions since my first post, that there were DNS or Domain Name Server denials, preventing the Instant Blog Subscribers' page from showing up in my browser.  There are a few theories that I'm mulling about, however, it could be something as simple as the static IP address changing, which is not uncommon for business based Web sites.
Web servers and other computers that need a consistent point of contact use static IP addresses. However, a Web site's IP address can change over time, and some sites associate multiple IP addresses with a single domain name.  So my theory is, that for some reason, my IP protocol search doesn't associate one of the multiple addresses with Instant Blog Subscribers, that they use.

It's also possible that IBS acquired a new Server and my search protocol didn't recognize it. Whatever the case, the problem didn't last more that a day or just a few hours for each occasion.  So the mystery is unsolved, but I'm happy to be able to find the Web page and login most of the time.

If you want to check on a Web site to see if it's down, you can go to downforeveryoneorjustme:  http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
The Web site is very plain and simple.  In example A below, you see the Web site as it appears when you land there.
In example B below that,  you see the results after typing in a Web site, in this case, I used Instant Blog Subscribers and it said the site was up.

EXAMPLE A

EXAMPLE B





Well, in conclusion, I know it's not much, but hope this gives you some perception as to what might be happening, if you find yourself not able to access a Web site that you never had problems with in the past.

As always, Thanks for stopping by, Terry

Instant Blog Subscribers Problem

Hello Instant Blog Subscribers,

Is Instant Blog Subscribers Still in business?  I'm writing this message concerning the IBS server on June 17, 2013.  It appears to be down and I have used http://websitedownrightnow.com to verify that the Site is down.  As of this writing it is showing a 404 Not Found page, which when I had first started to try and log in, did not show up at all.  Just a blank page showed up.  It  annoys me that IBS isn't working at the moment.  I will continue to search to find out more about Instant Blog Subscribers and what happened.  Then I'll add what I find here.  Down below is a sample of the IBS Site so that you know you are looking at the correct IBS information.  This incident started on June 17, 2013 when I could not login or bring up any Official Instant Blogger page anywhere on the Web.  The screen shot is below:

It appears that Instant Blog Subscribers is back up as of June 18, 2013 and running according to http://websitedownrightnow.com/
Here are the Screen Shots Below:

Well, everything is working great and back to business as usual.
I'd like to add a note to everyone who is not too familiar with Instant Blog Subscribers or IBS for short. It really is a Viral Blogging network.  I've had over 35,074 views and have only been on IBS for a few months.  That's almost Double my regular Google Blogger account for the same time period and it just keeps growing faster every week, which is awesome!  You can check it out if you want to join me for free on the Banner below:



For all of you bloggers out there see what you think about this little experiment.  Just out of curiosity I looked for this blog page on the major Search Engines like Google, yahoo, Bing etc. Etc.  using the correct URL  http://instantblogsubcribersnotfound.blogspot.com/
and found absolutely nothing.  Just on a whim I tried 
Duck Duck go and to my amazement there it was!!  My blog showed up and I had finished it only 20 minutes before searching. Does that say something about the major Search Engines like Google?  Blogger is Google's and you mean to tell me they can't find MY Blog on the blogging platform site that they control?  Kinda peculiar ain't it?  

Just for some added info, Duck Duck go is a Search Engine that does not, I REPEAT, Does NOT track or follow your web surfing History.  I Think that is very Cool and it has a very clean simple interface.
