Not sure if you've removed the DNS entries, but: $ host blog.anujkumar.com. ns1.webfaction.com Using domain server: Name: ns1.webfaction.com Address: 50.56.93.

Not sure if you've removed the DNS entries, but: $ host blog.anujkumar.com. ns1.webfaction.com Using domain server: Name: ns1.webfaction.com Address: 50.56.93.59#53 Aliases: Host blog.anujkumar.com. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I don't even see a tumblr IP address being handed back for your hostname. I checked each of four authoritative servers, but, I don't see that any of them have published the IP. I'm not sure if you're forcing the IP address through /etc/hosts or an equivalent, but, from where it stands right now, the rest of the world cannot see the site, but, that is due to DNS, not due to tumblr.

DNS entries are same from start. They have never been changed. Even if the issue is related to DNS, that doesn't explain why I am unable to access my tumblr dashboard or tumblr home page? When I try to open tumblr.com in my firefox, it returns a file of mime-type application/octet-stream to download.

  Does that still happen if you try in a browser where you haven't logged in? Because Tumblr works fine for everyone I know, so unless it's tied to your account, it's hard to imagine what could be the problem.

    Yes. I tried it in chrome, firefox , IE, Safari from both my home and office pc. In firefox tumblr.com is returning a file with mime-type : application/octet-stream while in others it is displaying this message - We're sorry Our servers are over capacity and certain pages may be temporarily unavailable. We're working quickly to resolve the issue. I'm from India. Is there any possibility that they use different servers for customers from India?

  The over capacity issue is one thing, but the DNS doesn't seem to be related to Tumblr at all. Those aren't Tumblr DNS servers and those DNS servers don't have records for your domain... Tumblr can't do anything about hosting a site that isn't pointed at their servers.
