Sahara website not down, has moved to new domain name

TimesLive reported that the website of “Gupta-owned Sahara Computers” was down on 6 June, displaying a 403 Forbidden page when navigated to.

No, it can't be that easy... nothing in IT is that simple damnit. How else do we charge MILLIONS to fix a PC.

Or a redirect on the old site to the new one.

Think this has anything to do with the leaks?

My name is Skerminkel and I have a confession to make: I bought a Sahara computer once. Ten years ago. It was crap, but cheap. I gave it away eventually.
Never again.

Do any dealers still use Sahara?

I suspect revenue has dropped sufficiently to try and suck it directly out of the end-user.
