Arghh.. ddd got 'redirected' to adbaaz WTH! : Advertlets domain issue



Doing a 'routine' check on the site and found out something crazy happening. Dudesdoingdotnet illegally re-directed to adbaaz-wth-wth... as usual, extra digging the web and found out that my other ads provider are making funny-yet-entertaining statement mentioning that they are facing some 'complication' bla bla with the domain renewal process.. hmmm... make sense?


'ddd for the past... idontknow days..."


...part of the FAQs

Can I still check out my account details or access Advertlets.com?
Yes, you can use http://apps.advertlets.com (this is the beta login for Advertlets 2.0 and is mostly functional). Subdomains for advertlets.com are still functional, however, the main www.advertlets.com domain is affected.

Or, you can edit your hosts file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (no file extension). Open up the file in notepad and put in this line:
202.46.116.100 advertlets.com

(Note that this is only a temporary fix)



..my solution (and few.. oops.. many others)... remove those ads for now.
Solved!

UPDATE: ...few parts of Malaysia, service is baackk!
