lots of problems accessing site

[justDIY]

Has anyone else, perhaps from the USA, been having trouble accessing this site lately?

For the past week, the site is basically unavailable after 6-7pm local time, and doesn't return until after 9-10am local time the next day.

the error I usually get is unable to resolve www.electro-tech-online.com - and digging into it, the error originates from some name servers at a company called "joker.com" not responding.

other times, I can visit the site, but every time I post, I get errors about DEBUG mode and cannot connect to the SMTP server - these errors come from phpbb it appears, not my local computer.

I haven't seen any posts on this subject, so I suspected it's a problem with my Internet provider - but they claim it's a problem with this site. So, I just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing similar trouble?

There have been problems the last few days, if you check at joker.com they have been subjected to DOS (Denial Of Service) attacks.

Yea I had the same problem for nearly a whole week and I thought the site had been taken down especially after I got 3 of my mates from around the world to try and access the forum but we all came up saying the site couldn't be found. Then 2 days later it became normal again.
