So why don't the folks you built your sites on this question ?
Tripod is showing nothing but a blank page today. Looks like the free ride may be over.
I pay a monthly fee for add free site and 12.95/year for .com web address + 9.95/year for privacy so my name and home address don't show on whois
those who had free sites were covered in adds Lycos got paid by the adds if the site was so-so obviously the add revenue failed to cover cost they should have just kept it a paid service perhaps they are pulling off the free sites and will come back only with subscribers such as myself
I've had a site hosted there for 20+ years and Tripod can't be reached for the last few days, so says all the site checkers.
Since the Domain can't be reached, it is a little hard to contact them to ask why, ITSDIGGER.
I should have looked at the site first.
So used to folks spamming that question that I just jumped in .
I can not even ping tripod sites since nothing appears to translate using my DNS server.
I wonder if beyond the tripod issue the DNS records are munched on many ISPs.
I'm using 8.8.8.8
Lycos and it's subs, like Tripod.com and Angelfire.com have returned to ONLINE status. It's taken two days for the new DNS records to propagate around the world wide web to each DNS server.

Technical Issues
We are working on upgrading your service.
Will be back in a few hours.
And… (on the main splash page of lycos.com
Coming soon:
A new Lycos.com
Your post is a copy of what's at their status page and the folk above with web pages are telling me it's still gone. Not a DNS issue?
