Has anyone tried to access mikeoldfield.com recently - it comes up as though the domain name hasn't been registered!it's completely dissapeared

How unhelpful- they were doing so well with very regular updates (it's run by Universal now i believe)

Yes - it's a rather complex problem, to do with some recent compromises in security on the server (basically the account's been disabled, which is why you're seeing that holding page - getting it reactivated is the complex part). Things were left in rather a mess when it was transferred from Mike and Fanny to Universal, which is essentially what's led to this. It'll be reactivated as soon as possible - we're helping them to resolve the problem.

Bet its been getting a lot of Hits the Past 2 Days... It was OK yesterday.. Maybe the Album is selling well and people are hitting it for more info.. Noticed Sainsburys Had Sold out Today of MOTs  Be a Shame if the Chart Potential this Week was Hit by a CD Shortage.. :cool:

What a shame! After they had been trying hard to liven it up and update it a bit. Hope they manage to sort it out soon.

I was just on there in the last 48 hours. Strange. Maybe it's down for maintenance.

I don't see where the big mystery is - I already said why it's down! I'll put it more clearly: it got hacked so the host disabled it to stop the hackers' activities doing too much damage.

The account has been re-enabled, with Tim's help, and it's been back in the hands of Universal's designers since early this afternoon. It has to be re-secured before it goes back online, which shouldn't take as long as it has...
