I can't say with certainty what will happen with Eccie (i'm not affiliated to them) but I have done some quick research and these are my thoughts.
Eccie.net is a domain registered through a Godaddy proxy registar called DomainsByProxy (this was for privacy).
Eccie.net is a domain hosted by WEBAIR.NET.
WEBAIR.NET maintains DNS entries to the Eccie.net server (IP address) on
NS.WEBAIR.NET + NS2.WEBAIR.NET.
The IP address pointed to (the IP which is the Eccie server) is:
77.245.52.4.
The server is currently alive and taking ICMP requests. That means you can ping it basically. It's up and running.
The server is hosted on that IP (
77.245.52.4) in a WEBAIR data center in Amsterdam/Holland/Netherlands.
The error page (simple "Server Not Found" blank screen) you see is a custom error page that is delivered to the browser by a default Apache web server page.
What they have done is forbidden access to the websites root directory for that domain name.
They didn't quite do it correctly for the IP address though.
As a result you can browse to:
http://77.245.52.4 and you will get an empty directory listing "Index of /" page. They have created a page that does this and just shows and empty directory listing which is smart b/c if they hadn't you would see what was in the home directory and it would be easy to learn a lot more about the site structure.
If you try something like: http://77.245.52.4/home.html
You get a simple blank page that says, "hi".
This just means there is still a file in the root of the website called "home.html" that has the silly contents of just the word "hi" inside it.
However, it does mean the web server itself is still up. It's serving http requests.
It's just that all requests to anything under the domain name
www.eccie.net are being forbidden (403 error) and you are delivered a custom "Server Not Found" page. This is likely because they are working on fixing something major. Upgrading to a new version of something. Making major site changes. Etc.
That being said it's still possible that the hosting provider is shutting them down b/c they decided not to renew or pay their latest monthly payment.
The weird part is why would the web server still be running then? That's so odd...extremely so. And why would the DNS entries still be current on NS and NS2? Also, why would the host provider not simply shut the server down? It's definitely not down b/c like I said you can do the above requests and it responds. You can also ping 77.245.52.4.
We'll see what happens........
