Here's a look at the website in 2003, via the Internet Wayback machine:

So it did exist before Nov. 3, 2004.

Two open questions to challenge your net research

On: Netcraft Shows Smartech Running Ohio Election Servers

We're having a discussion about this on Democratic Underground, and there's two open questions.
See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboa rd.php?az=view_all&address=203x471399

It'd be great to get them answered:

(1) The NetCraft hosting history report on BEGINS on Nov. 3, 2004 with SmartTech. Doubt if that's right. Who hosted that website BEFORE Nov. 3? Or was that website created on Nov. 3, 2004?

(2) Is there any way of getting times for the hosting changes on the NetCraft report? Or verifying that they are in GMT?

Come on net wizards, help out.

Can we get time of Nov. 3rd hosting change?

If it was 12:15 AM, that could explain a lot.

Time is not given on the NetCraft display.

Also, is it EST or GMT?

Come on, net wizards!

Date of RNC intrusion doesn't mesh with election

I posted a comment on Democratic Underground attempting to explain this news in layman's terms.

One reply correctly pointed out that election was Nov. 2, not Nov. 4. Which makes the Nov. 3-Nov. 5 hosting service intrusion even more mysterious.

I will be reading with interest what you folks with real expertise can figure out about this.
