Anyone know how many they had at peak?

nezumi.demon.co.uk no longer resolves to an IP address in NSLOOKUP.

Yes, I've just tried pinging it. Turnpike's own ping says
[translating host name to IP address]
Connection failed - Host not found
-- Winsock ERROR : Valid name, no data record for type
, but I presume "Valid name" just means it's in a valid format.
Sticking www. on the beginning resolves no problem.
Trying in a browser (chrome) is interesting: for my old one,
soft255.demon.co.uk, brings up the "Make ... work for you" Namesco page,
whether I prepend the www. or not; until (I think) yesterday, one (I
think with www.) brought up the work for you page, the other brought up
chrome's normal site not found message. For nezumi, without www. brought
up site not found, but with www., brings up a page about Hobbies. At
least I think it was that way round: now, both bring up the page,
presumably having messed with the browser's history cache. A link on the
page works.

Good, as the page still has mailto: links (-:
Have you taken out a new domain hosted by Namesco? If so, have you
passed the change-of-username date? (Confusingly, Namesco use usernames
that have the form of email addresses; this is making it very difficult
to explain what's going on to my friend.)
