The domain of cfmesh.com disappeared today ... anyone know what happen to cfmesh?

wyldckat · August 7, 2016, 17:29

Quick answer: Possibly they forgot to update the yearly domain fee, it can easily happen to anyone (1-5 year renewals have this downside

easily forgettable). It almost happened to us (at the company I work at) a few years ago.
I've tweeted to them a few minutes ago: https://twitter.com/wyldckat/status/762397119374393344 - If you have Twitter, show them your support! At: https://twitter.com/CFieldsHR

If you're looking for the source code of cfMesh (the non-Pro version), it's still available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cfmesh/ - according to their tweets, they updated it recently for OpenFOAM 4.0, it's on the "development" branch.

Yes, wyldckat you are right - our domain name expired

It's easy to forget it when you are preparing a new release

Hopefully the site will be available soon, thank you all for letting us know.

yes, finally! It turned out to be a problem with our hosting provider

, but everything should be fine now.

Thanks again for everyone reporting it! Hopefully this will not happen again
