Their community is very helpful;
<Whoda>My dear dear friend, nickname EPIW, tried to host a server after this lovely update which put MINECRAFT into the BETA PHASE. SO, after the update he was unable to host WHICH HE WAS ABLE TO BEFORE THE UPDATE. He tried to port forward, three times, and redownload everything. Nothing helped. Now we're searching for solution and I came here to ask this lovely community for help. The only error we get is "ERROR: UNKNOWN HOST "IP".
<Bilkokuya>forget of whoda
<bildramer>Whoda, then the update broke the server, simple as that
<TehCreep>Whoda stop
<Yourself>Whoda, grow a brain
<bildramer>Notch said he would fix stuff tomorrow
<Kavukamari>Whoda: things to check: Are your ports forwarded, are your ports open on the firewall, is the server up, were there errors in startup, do you have latest server version... let's see anything else...?
<notcoo>Who the hell has a firewall these days :S
<bildramer>Kavukamari, if it worked before, it should work now, except for the update
<Kavukamari>hmm
<bildramer>the only thing that changed was the update
<Whoda>aye
<bildramer>easy logical conclusion
<Kavukamari>ill try to see if my server works
