Anyone else having problems with accessing the official ESTA site? Or is it a problem with browsers at my end?

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

Esta's out and need to renew urgently - been trying for two days

Is there another site that I can use that doesn't charge a premium?

TIA ;-)

It's working fine for me, I just updated my first night address without any problems (using Safari on an iPad).

There have been a lot of posts on the Trip Advisor Air Travel forum about problems accessing the official website. You might want to have a look as people have been giving advice on what to do. I think it's a browser problem. I've been able to access the site with no problems.

It's working fine here using Chrome.

Try and open it up using a private browsing window, it could be something in your cookies/cache causing it.

I would not recommend using a 3rd party site, premium or not you're handing over your passport details and credit card to an unknown website, if I were in the business of identity theft that's where I would start harvesting details.
