Is your website up? Are you sure?
“What would you do for 25% more sales?”
It’s panicked gift-buying season, and I got mail this morning from Boutique Academia, part of their final push before Christmas.
They’re hoping for some Christmas sales in the next three days. They do make some lovely jewelry – ask Laura about her necklace some time – so I clicked on their mail.
That’s not good. I like Boutique Academia, and fixing email and dns problems is What We Do, so I took a look.
Safari isn’t quite as bad with not-exactly-truthful error messages as Internet Explorer, but I still don’t really trust it. Perhaps the problem is with the click-tracking domain in the email, rather than with boutiqueacademia.com? So I open the base page at http://boutiqueacademia.com, get redirected immediately to https://www.boutiqueacademia.com – which fails to load.
OK, start with the basics. DNS.
