What a way to start off a blog. Initially it was our plan to keep the site formal with minimal user interaction. It was just meant to work. But it seems that given the turn of events that we have no control over, we had no choice to set this blog up.

Our site is mainly targeted to Trinidadians and Tobagonians. As such, most of our traffic originates locally in Trinidad and Tobago. Today however, upon checking the site we noticed that the site couldn’t be found. After a little investigating it was found that the major local ISP Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago DNS servers were to blame.

This means that a lot of locals who are trying to get on to the site woud think it is down where in fact TSTT is the problem. Assuming that the DNS issue is ‘resolved’ now and you are reading this article, here are some steps to get around TSTT’s DNS problem permanently.

1. Whenever you think a site is down, visit  http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com and put in the site you would like to check. If it is not down you would be able to find out. The step below should solve all your DNS problems.

2. Use OpenDNS instead of TSTT DNS. Here is a link explaining how to set it up on your computer.

I hope this helps. If you were sucessful in setting up OpenDNS, then hopefully in the future you wouldnt have ‘server problems’. Happy posting!
