This stuff is always a mystery to me.

It should be a mystery to most...

When things break or have to move,
one problem is that old info can be provided when a system looks up
the numeric address for a given name. The data
for this lookup has timers on it. The timers let
a nameserver cache the information for a specified
length of time. If something changes behind the curtain
the old answer is assumed to be correct which can
result in a bad answer for as long as it takes for the
timers to expire and the authoritative servers to be checked.
You can have a local cache on your laptop, phone, or iPad.
Your ISP can have their copy.... eventually it will tidy
up.

If you plan to move the timers are set to be a lot shorter than
normal. This outage was not "planned".

Here is what it looks like now (five min ago) on a google
name server. The non-authoritative answer tells me
that this is a cached answer....

C:\Users\me>nslookup -type=ANY straightrazorplace.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
straightrazorplace.com
primary name server = ns49.domaincontrol.com
responsible mail addr = dns.jomax.net
serial = 2011091504
refresh = 28800 (8 hours)
retry = 7200 (2 hours)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
straightrazorplace.com nameserver = ns49.domaincontrol.com
straightrazorplace.com nameserver = ns50.domaincontrol.com
straightrazorplace.com internet address = 72.27.226.90
straightrazorplace.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx.l.google.com
straightrazorplace.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt1.aspmx.l.google
.com
straightrazorplace.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt2.aspmx.l.google
.com
straightrazorplace.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = aspmx2.googlemail.c

straightrazorplace.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = aspmx4.googlemail.c

well it did me good to have srp down for 2 days i went out on a date friday and canned tomatoes saturday both were enjoyable one cost me much more lol.

Whew, the twitching and tremors have begun to subside. Developers, Administrators, Davenators, thanks for your work in restoring what has become a fun part of my life. I might have to buy a new razor just to celebrate. Say, is there a name for Cumulative Acquisition Disorders?

This recent outage or lack of razor and accessory fix has made it quite clear that whatever it is, I have it.

Thanks, Lynn
