Due to various circumstances, websites can become unavailable for a period of time. Thus, listed below are the services that you can use to be able to view sites even when the website servers are down.
Coral Cache
Coral Cache comes handy at times when websites become unavailable due to too much site traffic. This service may not have an effect on all the sites which can be found over the Internet but it can still give you the results that you want. Overall, it’s a useful service that’s worth your time.
Moreover, Coral Cache is suitable for people who just want to view an old blog post without logging in to their accounts in that website.
How to Use It:
Place the words .nyud.net after the URL of your desired webpage.
Example: www.yahoo.com.nyud.net
Internet Archives
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine allows you to view a certain website’s appearance a few years back. You just have to search for well known sites for you to acquire more archived pages of it.
Google’s Cache
A huge part of the Internet is being cached by Google. Thus, you would still be able to view those cached sites even if a server goes down.
How to Use It:
Put the word cache before the URL of your desired website.
Example: cache:http://yahoo.com
The Google Cache Bookmarklet also allows you to view cached websites. You just have to click it once a particular website is unavailable.
As you can see, there are a lot of ways for you to access web pages even when you’re having Internet problems. It’s just a matter of finding the most suitable service for your immediate needs.
