Has anyone else had trouble visiting Adbrite's website? I cant even visit the website to log onto my account. They have been down for about two days now, and my Adbrite ads are no longer showing up on any of my sites. I tried calling support but no one answered... :confused: anyone else having problems, or is it just me? :sad:

Quick, practical note for later readers: because and reported the site loading while got a “400 Bad Request,” this pattern usually points to a client- or local-network problem rather than a global outage. A 400 means the server rejected the HTTP request (commonly malformed headers, framing problems, or oversized/corrupt cookies). (developers.cloudflare.com)

Missing but useful troubleshooting (do these in order): try the site in a private/incognito window or a different browser; if that works, clear cookies for the site (you can remove site-specific cookies instead of all cookies to avoid logging out everywhere). If the problem persists, flush the DNS cache and test with a simple HTTP probe. A private window or removing site cookies often fixes “request header / cookie too large” situations. (experienceleague.adobe.com)

Commands/examples to run (one-at-a-time, then retry the site):

# Windows (admin cmd)
ipconfig /flushdns

# macOS (Terminal)
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

# quick HTTP test
curl -I https://www.adbrite.com

Flushing DNS forces fresh name resolution; switching temporarily to a public resolver (8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) can also reveal DNS issues. (help.dreamhost.com)

Check the hosts file and router-level blocking (hosts file can override DNS; on Windows it lives at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). Also examine proxy/VPN/antivirus settings and browser extensions. If the site works from a phone on cellular but not from the home network, test tethering to isolate router/ISP problems. Edit hosts or router settings only with care and admin rights. (support.microsoft.com)

Long-term context for anyone still maintaining old threads: adBrite ceased operations (shut down on February 1, 2013), so account/payment problems from later posters are tied to that closure rather than transient connection errors. (techcrunch.com)

It loads just fine for me. :(

Still a no go for me. All I get is error 400, bad request. I could access Adbrite's site through a proxy, but other than that, it gives me an error. All other sites load up just fine. It seems I'm the only one with this problem? =(

Is the Adbrite site? I didn't have any problems with it.

Our is ok too..

Which countries you're from, maybe they had blocked it.
Try asking friends using different ISP from your country to access adbrite site.
If they can't.. it'll most probably be blocked.

Send adbrite a support ticket, but have to be patient.
They took quite a number of days to response.

I'm from the United States, and my friends have been able to connect to Adbrite's site, I can even connect through my SmartPhone, but when I try my home computer, I can't connect. I even tried different computers around my house that are connected to the same router, and still no connection. Strange error, just last week I was able to access the site, but now, all of a sudden I can't. I was able to get a hold of Adbrite's support, but it didn't really go anywhere. They just advised me to contact my ISP, so I did. Now I'm waiting for a response... :confused:

This is strange, I could connect now... wonder If my ISP did something to fix the problem. =D

Thank you all for the replies!

I am having three problems with AdBrite: 1. didn't receive due check, 2. unable to log in (400 bad request error) and unable to use site's contact (400 bad request error). The company info pages load fine. I am ready to go to the authorities
