Unhappy Bestpapermodel site problems.

Suspended Domain

It appears that their domain name has been suspended. I have purchased a few items from these artisans. I hope this is just a bump in the world that is the internet and not something more serious like a going out of business.

Can the gentlemen who run this digital establishment please let us know what has transpired?

Maybe they had their website capacity they subscribe to exceeded for the month. Suspended does not mean gone forever.

The Facebook page looks like it has not been posted on since 2013.

However, hopefully (hopefully) it's just a glitch. Nice models and I have a lot and would like to get yet more!

Yes, I use that calculator sometimes. Glad I downloaded it when it was available.

I was able to look at an archive of their site.
I don't know if you can get anywhere with it but this is their host for the website Hosting 51

Here is something bizarre, I was able to get into the best paper models website and download a free model by going through the archived copy of the web site. So the site is still functional but somehow the normal direct link to it is broken. My friend's don't call me "search engine Corbin" without good reason .

Here is the back door link. Get them while you can just in case! But just get the free stuff, I would not recommend trying to purchase anything from a broken website on a back door link.

Here is the web page that has the name and mailing addresses of the company owners. I don't know if you can still get through using the contact us feature.

I wish that I had known that the calculator was downloadable. I'd have it on my thumb drive in a moment.
