Bloggerunited.com down – will it return?
June 13th, 2009 | by Sean |Jess asked me what was going on with bloggerunited.com yesterday, as there’s currently only a domain-parking page there. I had a quick search online, and found LithiumMind’s blog that suggested it was suffering from bandwidth exhaustion last month. I often wondered how much bloggerunited was paying for bandwidth, as they must have used an awful lot!
The HTTP 509 (did you know 509 is not an official status code?) that LithiumMind saw has gone now, replaced by a domain parking page:
BloggerUnited.com Domain Parking page
A domain parking page is bad news – who would use a webhost that displayed their own ads on your domain when you exceeded your bandwidth limits? That would be very cheeky! Perhaps whois can tell us a little more though. Whois is a tool that you can use to look up ownership, lease start / end, registrar info etc. For bloggerunited.com I see this:
Whois bloggerunited.com - expired?
Aiyah! Jess won’t be happy – bloggerunited.com was one of her favourite sites! See that ‘Expires On: 09-Jun-09’? We can only hope that there’s been a bit of an ‘admin oversight’ and the site will be back up soon.
Does anybody know the bloggerunited.com owner? Is it a brief holiday, or has the project run its course? I’d love to be able to tell Jess!
Update 17th June – seems like it could return, according to rei’s tweets it’s a credit card issue: http://twitter.com/rei99

Thanks Sean for checking whether bloggerunited.com is still running!
Yeah, it will be disappointing if bloggerunited gone forever cause I like to view others people blogs and click here and there for an interesting article.
