Looks normal to me. Or is that “is back to normal?” In any case, it was not gone for good, as careful reading of the message would have one expect. As it suggests, with the registrar system for domains, there is a grace period between the time when the yearly fee for a domain is overdue and the time the domain is actually deleted. During that time, the domain/zone can no longer be resolved, but the owner has an opportunity to comply with his duty. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

I can't think of "thepen" to leave service, because I use this service on a regular basis - approximately one time in two days. I use thepen homepage to reduce my XP by 5 points, otherwise I will overgrow my real XP knowledge :):):) Best regards, Courage, the Cowardly Dog	[reply]

It still works for me and I am sure it was not a cache I was looking at. `perlmonks.thepen.com` resolves to blca.blazenet.net which seems to be the ISP hosting this site. So it is still active.

Maybe not a cached page, but you're using cached DNS to get there, surely, as Network Solutions has changed the nameservers (see the whois record or query a root nameserver) and pointed it at their pending delete page. Try querying NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM -- query for the A record of any domain at all, and it returns a CNAME to their little site. user@server% dig @NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM foofooblahblah.net a ; <<>> DiG 9.2.3rc4 <<>> @NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM foofooblahbla +h.net a ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40648 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;foofooblahblah.net.
