    I speculate --- the domain may have expired and was temporarily placed on hold by GODADDY. They are pretty good about protecting domains for you. I used them on a website I had years ago. Or the more nefarious concern --- ZSCALEMONSTER got hacked again. Anthony had that happen awhile back. Crappy hackers get into to small company websites and hold them hostage.

    Plus I just went to GODADDY's domain registry and the domain is "not available" meaning it is in "someone's" possession.

    Anthony is pretty diligent about the way he runs his website, so hopefully he'll be back in action soon.

    The site's been down for me for a couple of weeks. I'm hoping Anthony gets it up and running soon as I've got a bunch of stuff on hold while this gets sorted out.

    I’ve never had a connectivity issue with Anthony’s website in the past or currently, in fact I able able to open it every day, and I open it at least twice a day M-F just to stay on top of what’s newly posted.

    Down for a couple weeks ????? I know in the past, he had to change URL/servers or something to that affect, but I thought that was over a year ago. I wonder if you picked up that old address, or something. Interesting though, as I have had no issues. In fact, just received an order from him yesterday.

    I still can't connect. I just get this message after a few minutes of the page not loading. I've never had an issue with connecting with him before.

    The connection has timed out

    The server at www.zscalemonster.com is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

    Working just fine here. I know Anthony has reported over on the book of faces that he's been having trouble with his internet, but I don't believe that involves the website.

    I tried that link. Same results. This is odd. It's the only site I have trouble with.

    Edited to add: I tried using my phone and 5G instead of my internet connection and that worked. So, it's my router for some reason.

    I checked this evening and it’s working now. It seemed odd this morning that Go Daddy domain page showed up. Cause I was on Anthony’s web page Monday.
    All is good now.

    OK, I dealt with Fios customer service and they eventually figured out what was wrong, reset my router, and now zscalemonster is accessible again. I still have no idea what was wrong, but at least now everything is back to normal.

    Drken I've had this problem with my personal site as well and, while I called attention to tech support, still not sure why . .

    BTW noticed evemodel . com is GONE it redirects to something else says "This domain is for sale - click here or call"

    Also, he takes a summer break (sites still up, usually) or he might have been ‘house keeping’ and taking time to reload.

    All is good now.

    He has been having trouble with his modem after the storm they had and has been trying to get back up! And working right!

    CORRECTION: I stand in error! Either evemodel changed domain name or I'm losing it's -> "eve-modeler.com" (and, 'aving a U.S.A. outlet on ebay as well, they're prolly the only one where "shipping" is less <- than the actual product sold?)

    I had a similar problem with zscalemonster a little while back. Fios told me to reset my router and that worked. Hope it works for you.

    Strange, I have never had a problem accessing Anthony's website from my computer, laptop or iPhone. Just went to his website and viewed the new AZL items.
