It means that this (new since Octobre ) domain is currently offline.
And also doesn't currently recieve emails (see your other thread).
According to the WHOIS information you could phone them up though (+40.7554508143), but I guess you'd need to speek Romanian for that...

yes u r right .
i could call them in fact couple of sites are giving same errors and mail bouncing back also.
but do this mean the sites are fake?
thx

It could also mean the site or its host provider is currently offline for maintenance. Or the host provider is having problems (a few weeks ago a big host company here in Belgium had problems too because of a lighting strike into a power station, as a result many sites went offline too for a while). It could mean all sort of things.

"host provider" of the sites i am trying to open and send mails are form "Yahoo server" .(i.e from whois look up)
it might mean yahoo servers are down .
thx any way
