I have received recent word from Felweb:
The password core has been restored so you can now access your accounts. If you changed the password just try with both password and one of them will work. This applies also for emails, ftp accounts and databases.
So, at this time, your cPanel and FTP account access should be fully functional. Remember to connect to the new IP address, 69.162.119.146, if you are connecting via IP. As your subdomain is not working yet, you will need to use this. For cPanel:
http://69.162.119.146:2082/
For FTP, enter 69.162.119.146 as your hostname. Check to make sure your files are restored correctly on the server, and let me know if there are any problems.
If you have a domain, your website should be fully functional at this time.
Unfortunately, those with subdomains have a small wait. This is nothing to do with Felweb. It’s related to the way our DNS is set up. The current system does not allow changes to existing ‘zones’, meaning we can’t change the subdomains to point to the new server. For the past month, I’ve been working on a new system, which should come online within the next hour or so. (I spent 8 hours on it yesterday alone. DNS is such a pain…)
Your websites, however, will take up to 2 days to be fully visible through propagation, just as they would if you were to change where an individual domain pointed. If you want to view your website ASAP, I recommend setting up Open DNS, which is free. Basically, it tells your computer where to find the server, instead of waiting for your ISP to update their records.
After this period, your DNS will respond more reliably than before, meaning your website will be visible to more people, more often. I know many users have reported troubles in this area. In addition, you will have control over your own subdomains. This has been tested to fully work. See for yourself our test page:

While writing this post, I have just received a successful run of my DNS updating script, so we should be online again very very soon.

Hi again,
Sorry it’s been a while since the last post. Just been really busy, but that’s to be expected with a double major and over 3,000 clients (building up to where we were before November).
Anyways, just wanted a quick note that the following domains will be, or already have, expired:
cyb3rpiety.com
funkynchic.net
puppi.info
gonebydawn.net
branden-media.net
pokeglobal.com
rzoneservers.biz
gopstorrent.net
proxtn.net
shopinternational.biz
digihornet.com
Unless I hear from the original registrants soon, these domains will be publicly available for registration very soon. I have only heard from the owners of two domains so far, so I thought I should make a public note here. The two domains renewed are:
So just let me know if you need your domain. I’m not sure how many we can afford to renew at this point, but definitely I can help you transfer the domain elsewhere or renew it for a donation of $15. You can email me.
