I can't access the Needlesports website, is it just me or is this a known issue?

Not according to me on virgin or ee. Could that site you are linking to be finding the placeholder?

It's still not working for me at home either - very annoying as I'd rather be outside in this weather. Our website hosting firm say that it's nothing to do with them. Our IT company have discovered that we had two IP numbers registered against the domain name needlesports.com at 123reg.com. They have deleted the one that shouldn't be there but say that it will take time, maybe as much as 24 hours before everyone gets pointed to the correct website. Apparently 123Reg were unable to say where the second number had come from. I have to say I only understand about half of this, but it appears there is nothing more to be done and it should right itself soon. Mind you if it's still not working at 9am tomorrow when I go into work the phone will be red hot!

Steve - It's DNS, Domain Name System, which changes (resolves) domain names, eg www.needlesports.com to the IP address (and yours is 62.128.197.91). It looks like there's only one there. So unless someone from your IT company screws up again and adds the wrong IP on to the wrong domain you should be alright.

While I don't rate 123-reg at all as a company, I've never heard of them randomly adding IPs to records. So I'm betting someone outside of 123-reg made a mistake.

If you know how to clear your DNS cache, that will probably fix any DNS related issues you are having.

Having spoked to Trev earlier, manually typing:

needlesports.com

into browser instead of co.uk (and without www.) seems to work reliably. Entering via a Google search page was strangely hit and miss for me.

Thank you - the things you have to learn which are nothing to do with climbing gear! I'll look into it tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I am glad to say that it seems to be working now.
