For years now, I have always used www.ighome.com as my "starter" page. Suddenly today, I get the message ......

"You do not have permission to view this directory or page."
What's the problem?

All other www. pages work.
 
That website is down (see the red text in the top box on this checking website:

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ighome.com.html

Update: just checked again, now it says "Under Maintenance" (so effectively still down).

So I guess your error message is not quite what it says, it's just how your web-browser has interpreted the problem.

Depends how long the site maintenance takes, but try later or tomorrow.

Thanks all of you. When I now click on www.ighome.com, I get the message .....

<<Thank you for your patience while we continue to work through issues caused by this morning's server failure.>>

So the problem is with them, and patience is reauired. I think they probably have been hacked, as previously when I clicked on their page, after about 5-10 seconfds, I got transferred to some sort of page www.ampatico.com .
