PPRUNE now blocked in the UAE

[BusyB]

Its been blocked in UK and elsewhere intermittently. Suspect a server problem, nothing to do with UAE. See thread in Jetblast.

It was blocked in mainland China yesterday !

I'm a little north of there, and we get the same thing. No internet censorship here, but frequently get the message "could not connect," and it acts as though pprune is down. It's not, but for whatever reason, it seems harder to get pprune than other sites. Usually just wait and try again.

i too am seeing "cannot connect" message so it would seem PPRUNE problem and not the eSl@t's blocking software

Great to see our PC world can now blame the Arabians for this "Could not connect" error.

As mentioned in the Computer Issues thread,Pprune is hosted in California.And this glitch occurred over the weekend there,so hopefully will be resolved in a few hours as Monday morning arrives. There are quite often various levels of service support available for web hosting services depending on how critical the site is to your business.You pay a LOT more for immediate tech support. Also the provider may promise 99% availability in a contract ( just like one I had with a provider).Over a year that means it can be down for 87.6 hours ( 3.65 days) without breaching the contract.
