Hi, all.
I'm trying to solve some intermittent connection issues for the web site for our club (Windsor Toastmasters - 6416).
Occasionally, I'll get an error message when trying to access the site by our main URL,
www.windsortoastmasters.org
("This site can’t be reached -
www.windsortoastmasters.org
took too long to respond."). When this occurs, I've always been able to access the site via the other URL (6416.toastmastersclubs.org), even while I continue to get the error at
www.windsortoastmasters.org
I asked our other officers about this - none of them have had issues connecting to the site by the main URL. They've always been able to connect just fine.
At the same time, we have had problems with messages to club addresses at our main domain (e.g. vppr@windsortoastmasters.org) occasionally not getting through. We haven't noticed this problem with addresses in the other format (e.g. vppr-6416@toastmastersclubs.org).
Our domain is registered through GoDaddy. We talked about whether they could be what's causing the issue, but officers who are more knowledgeable than me about DNS issues said that they wouldn't create the problems we're seeing, where the website won't connect for a few minutes and then go back to normal.
So:
- I'm the only one who has reported the issues with the web site. It happens whether I'm connecting at work or at home.
- Other people have reported problems with club emails using the @windsortoastmasters.org domain
Any ideas? If you could point me to a possible cause (and solution), it would be appreciated.
