pm message i got: "Hi, It is the domain registrar! I can also not reach domainphil.com, the same things happen. So it is not your fault. I will just transfer the domain to godaddy and then it will be solved. No need for any refund. If I get trouble in trying to transfer (maybe my e-mails also gets blocked, I don't know) it would be nice of you if you assisted me. I am happy that this has been solved now. You can imagine I was a bit uneasy/angry and felt I got scammed." Yes, turns out your IP is just being blocked by tucows. Just use a different PC and your problems are solved. Yes, I'll assist you the domain transfer, although I am quite sure it's going to be smooth sailing once you get the response from the registrar, because you already possess full control of the domain management panel.
