Hotmail.com should redirect to live.com. MS changed it several months ago to Outlook, so it looks like Win8 stuff. Type in either one.

Yes, that works. But only today is the first time I've noticed that(when i write Hotmail.com not redirected to anywhere). I thought the address was no longer available.

But now I see all this normal... for now... MUAHAHAHAHA

Oddly enough, a person that I support also had this problem today.
They are still not being redirected from hotmail.com to live.com.

Interesting. When I wrote the post, I still had some problems to go to live.com
It's working, we'll see if it stays that way.

It have fixed this problem that person ?

I changed each bookmark that pointed to hotmail.com to point to https://mail.live.com instead.

That link came up just fine


Hotmail.com never stopped redirecting for me and I tested it on 4 different ISPs. It seemed to be a temporary DNS thing. For the person that I support, they were not able to get to the hotmail.com website to be redirected. That sounds like what you were seeing too.

There are times that is normal I can open multiple tabs with hotmail.com smoothly. But there are times that no does not work.

I will be monitoring this

But as I saw not redirected to live.com, these two possibilities were : traffic or was disabled. Discard the traffic because it had never happened, as far as I know.

Others showed the site as down too:
Is Hotmail down? Check status and report outages at downrightnow

And live.com had issues yesterday too:
Live.com - Is Windows Live Hotmail Down Right Now?

WOW !

Interesting, I knew

I hope I was the first to notice

There is still sometimes it work, other not.
