Hey,

Trying to add my Minecraft server on address. mc.utopia.us but your system keeps claiming we are offline, even when not.

Hope we can get this resolved (:

If you have followed all the steps in the above guides and are still having a problem, please confirm your physical IP address, join port and query port.

It may also be worth noting that the dns name 'mc.utopia.us' does not currently resolve to an IP address.
However 'address.mc.utopia.us' does resolve as '92.242.132.15', but times out on 50% of packet requests. This could also be causing an issue for Gametracker to scan it.

Hey

Due to security we do not give out the numeric ip, and I do not understand why you would need it.

I just want to could use mc.utopia.us as people can connect fine to that one 99% of the times (:

You IP will not be 'secret' if you add your server to Gametracker.
It will be visible on the server page.

Additionally, anyone with any knowledge of dns services will know how to retrieve the IP address from a dns host name - as you can see that I did above.

Gametracker does not use your host name each time it scans.
It resolves the IP address once per day and uses the IP address.

I just pinged your host again.
3 out of 4 requests were non-responded. It is fairly clear that you have network issues between your server and the rest of the internet.

Edit:
For further clarity, a dns host name does not provide any measure of security. It is simply the means by which IP addresses are 'translated' into plain language to make them easier for people to remember, identify and use. It also allows the the IP to be changed without everyone having to learn the new numbers.
