Gecko website offline??

[koosjr]

The website http://www.geckodrive.com/ dives an error on my side.

Are they still online or can one just buy these drives from other sources?

Seems to me that most end users are quite happy with the Geckos so at the moment it is my drive of choice for the large format CNC router I am planning.

It appears that their internet services provider is having problems.

As I type this, it is 6AM in California where Gecko is located. It will
probably get fixed as soon as folks get to work today.

The website should be up in a few hours. Our host decided to randomly change where our A record is pointing (i.e. our website is located at 1.1.1.1 but it is looking for it at 2.2.2.2) and they changed it back. Once the DNS propagates we should be back online; they quoted a maximum of 12 hours to do that, so it should be up within the next 6 hours.

If you ping geckodrive.com you receive a response, so that is a promising sign. This morning there was no response when it was pinged.

Thank you for your patience!

I bought mine from PMDX along with the boards, too. Thanks for all of the help & info, Steve. Things are moving right along.

Does anyone know if I can buy the stuffed Gecko separately?

My 7 year old son was asking about one.

Thanks,

Marcus,

It looks like your web server is reachable over the net as Geckodrive but it is not working properly because the DNS records do not contain an alias that makes the WWW sub-domain accessible.

We switched hosts and it looks like the site is coming back online. It is an earlier backup of the website from a week or two ago so it is missing some of the newer information and photos, but that will all be added today. Thank you for your patience!

We are currently reinstalling an SSL certificate on our website to make the checkout process more secure. This will bring our site down temporarily while we wait for the new dedicated IP to propagate. Our website should be back up very soon once the installation has completed. Thanks!
