Site move – update

We have successfully moved KenyaUnlimited onto new servers and the site is up and running as normal. 99% of you should be able to access the site as usual by now.

If you see a page stating, “This Account Has Been Suspended” which looks like this when you try to access KenyaUnlimited it means that our new DNS setting have not propagated yet to wherever you are accessing the web site from. DNS propagation can take anywhere between a couple of hours to 72 hours. Once the process of propagation has completed KenyaUnlimited will be available to any person, anywhere in the world.

While propagation is in progress it is normal to see strange things occur, this is because not every DNS server that needs to know our new settings, actually does yet. During the propagation process, it can appear that like, KenyaUnlimited, is going up and down.

If you do get the, “This account has been suspended” page, please wait a few hours and try to access the site again.

Thank you for your patience and your continued support.

KenyaUnlimited is moving

Over the next 48 hours we are moving KenyaUnlimited to what should be a more reliable service. While the move is taking place the website, KenyaUnlimited, will be unavailable. This change was not due to take place without warning but the service from our current webhost has become so unreliable that we have had to change our original plan to give a few days notice and have had to start the process immediately. We will be posting regular updates right here on the KenyaUnlimited Status page. Please check this status page for any updates.

We appreciate your patience on this.

If you have any questions or comments please email us at: admin [@] kenyaunlimited.com

Thank you.

We are aware that KenyaUnlimited is down. The problem seems to be that our hosting servers are unavailable as this trace route shows:
