We had had our URL and nameserver registration with Google. Recently, Google transferred those activities to another company, which apparently did an automated transfer of our registration to their machines. For unclear reasons, the other company reset the nameserver list — the datum that tells your computer where to look on the internet for our web site — to their default location, which is not us. They had a server location for resetting the nameservers. It refused to work. You could reset the nameserver datum, but the reset would not save. Finally the reset was saved. Then the reset had to propagate. Finally my web browser kept looking at its cached page ‘server not found’ rather than seeing if it could find our site. In the end, I uninstalled Firefox, reinstalled Firefox (still didn’t work) and finally had to do a refresh to get here.
You may correctly assume that I am slightly annoyed.
Worse, I can now log in with some browsers but not others, on the same computer within a few moments of each other. In addition, my FaceBook login was disabled. Facebook logins now use two-factor identification, designed by someone who more or less assumed that everyone owns a device that can receive text messages. The workaround was, let us say, clumsy but may work in a few days.
