Coaster Works

Whos seen that pretty cool site called www.coasterworks.com. Its a man who makes his own model coasters. Pretty cool eh. What do you think?

When I first saw the topic title, I was thinking of that Dreamcast game. I've been to the site b4 and wasnt sure what it was. Now, I know.*clicks link*

Ummmmmm

Going on the theory behind DNS, it shouldn't make a difference.

ALL domains actually have a . on the end, referred to as the root domain.

When you try to get to www.google.com (or www.google.com. [;)]), your computer first queries the root server (.) to ask if it knows where the server is.

Of course it doesn't know, but it refers it to the .com server, which your computer trots off to ask.

The .com server doesn't know, but it knows where google.com is, so it refers you there.

google.com knows the location of www.google.com (it's on the same network), so it gives you the IP address.

OK, so any techies will be crying now, because this is not strictly true (there's a LOT more to it), but it gives you the general just of DNS

Or your ISPs DNS servers are buggered.

Try leaving it an hour (to let the TTL on the DNS entry timeout) and give it another whirl.


I've gotta say though, this guy has WAY too much space on his hands!
