Kutt Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I'm looking for photographs of someone and I was linked to this website by that person's friend where they said these photographs are posted.But this website continually says "we're over capacity" and has said that nonstop for several weeks.Is this even a working and legitimate website? Or just something that I was linked to in order to deceive and misdirect me?Also, how come there isn't any http:// in the URL box?Somebody please look into this for me.

Vagrant0 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 after a quick whois: http://www.whois.com/whois/instinctivenavigation.com Looks like the site is registered through godaddy, and is just over their monthly bandwidth quota... Not surprising if someone running the site is linking back to it several places with images since anyone seeing that image draws from that address instead of a local cache. Regarding the http:/ / trimming, this is something that modern browsers have started doing. It is probably there to make things more "user friendly" and allow automatic resolving of people just typing in the site name into their address bar. The only time I've noticed it being listed has been in the case of https:/ /, which implies a more secure connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way I can get that site to work and not just direct me to that landing page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yep, it's legit, and you will have to wait till their bandwidth cap resets to be able to see it. Google may have it cached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Probably once a month..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Probably once a month.....As it's been over a month, it is probably one of those situations where the person who leased the site needs to manually contact the provider and re-enable the site due to the high amount of traffic. Some hosts apparently have this sort of policy to prevent illegal usage of their services (hosting copyrighted content) or where the site content itself is something that draws too much traffic for the current service plan.
