Namesilo.com not opening?

[LowPage TeaJit]

Namesilo.com not opening? Is the servers down?

 

[GoWeb]

Well, this is stupid. Now, namesilo.com is not opening here with either the cloudflare DNS or the google DNS.

Can someone else from India/ @namesilo confirm if any changes need to be made? I am running Windows 11.

 

[itssri]

Namesilo still doesn't open in India on any ISP. They seem to be up against some very powerful entity, while holding out for some important entity at their end.

The legal issue doesn't look like ending soon.

The only option presently is to use a VPN.

Thanks.
But that makes me feel scared, I have a lot of domains at Namesilo and they need renewals.

@namesilo please find out the reasons and do something about the issue urgently, it's been long pending.
Otherwise you are set to lose almost all your Indian customers.

If you share anything about the issue (privately of course) I might be able to provide some (ground level) pointers on how things are interpreted here in IN.

For me it worked after changing DNS in mac. Thanks for the solution.

@namesilo -- it looks like @GoWebnames.com was unable to renew his "GoWebnames.com" domain.

I didn't notice this until a few minutes until auction close, otherwise I would have messaged namesilo and @GoWebnames.com to have the auction cancelled.

This is a small industry, I've seen namesilo lead by example before. Having noticed this thread prior to auction close, I stayed in the extended auction to win it back for @GoWebnames.com, as this was looking like it could turn into a real mess.

I assume @GoWebnames.com intended on renewing his marketplace domain, but whatever is going on in this thread may have prevented it?

Hopefully @namesilo can sort this out. If @GoWebnames.com still wants this domain, Namesilo has my permission to take this domain out of my account, put it back in gowebnames.com account, and refund this purchase.

I put a transfer order in at Namesilo for 3 .us names, since checkout over 24 hrs have passed, Namesilo UI indicates email has been sent, but nothing has been received by me. Chat support not particularly helpful.

I was occupied for a few days with a wedding event so I forgot to renew it in time but it's a handreg and not that precious to me anymore. You can keep it.

The direct access problem persists but I am having to use a VPN to access NameSilo. Perhaps NameSilo.com can implement a workaround like dynadot.com (ddot.in for india).

Also thanks to your post, I went and renewed a couple handful others.

I sent you a DM requesting your username to push it to you.

If you really don't want it, I'll post it in the namePros free domain section next month.

Some of my domains need to be renewed urgently. I tried changing DNS settings on my mac as well as chrome to google dns/cloudflare dns, however, it still didn't work. Any help would really be appreciated.

@namesilo - Kindly suggest.

Are you able to test VPNing to another country and trying to access our website that way? If that also doesn't work, please contact our support team at [email protected] and they will help provide further assistance.

They are stuck in a legal issue, so a blanket ban of their URL in India. Access through a VPN.

Purely out of interest, do you know how the Namesilo domain or website is blocked exactly on a technical level?

No. I write from personal experience of no access on any ISP in India, and their confirmation that a legal issue is there.

Edit: Their name servers and DNS functionality is not affected, but to manage that we can't access, except through VPN.

 

[Future Sensors]

Quite a few domain registrars and marketplaces have been blocked in India. How miserable.
