My blog's domain had some availability issues
I spent half the day fixing my blog's domain availability because, at some point, my domains suddenly started returning a "Server not found" error. Everything else, including SSH, FTP, and SSL, was working fine. Only the domains hosted on my server were affected.
To resolve this issue, I started contacting both my server provider and domain registrar's support teams. Since the problem was on their side, contacting them was the only way to find out what was going on and get it resolved. It was especially strange because everything happened right after I pushed my latest fixes, which were related to blog security and the comments system. So, I wasn't sure what was going on until the server support team confirmed that the problem was on their side and sent me instructions along with new name servers.
However, their instructions didn't help with my international domain registrar. I couldn't use the new name servers for my blog's domain because, when I tried to assign them, I got an error saying that something was wrong with the name servers. So, I started contacting both support teams again to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, they didn't help me at all, and the conversations went nowhere.
Instead of wasting more time on that, I found another solution using Cloudflare, which I'd used a few years ago. I decided to use it to manage my DNS, and luckily, it worked pretty well! I also decided to move from my old servers to a foreign server provider I'd already found.
