Is Dynadot.com Down For You Too?

Expron · Feb 12, 2009

Hmm,

I've been trying to login to Dynadot.com all night & they seem down. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

I'm out in Chicago, IL USA so - maybe it's a regional thing?

It seems like their API is down as well.

I know they're a smaller company.. Hopefully they get up & going again soon!

Yep, she's down in snowy Greenwood, SC. Yes it's snowing!

** STarts to Twitch from very bad past memories of RegisterFly experiences ***
Hope everything is alright there... just bought some .tels from them

DesignFuschion · Mar 2, 2009

its out right now.
I'm in australia. Can;t login at all.
Experienced this last night as well.

HcDomains · Mar 2, 2009

Not back yet.
It is more than 15 hours already....

Tribulatio · Mar 2, 2009

At least there is now a message "Experiencing technical difficulties". It will soon be 24 hours since it is down.
I like Dynadot. But there is a real problem with them when something happens during week-ends. They just have no technical staff at hand out of office hours, insofar I understand - and very limited support.
I do entirely support the right of people to take week-ends off, but when operating something which should work online 24 hours a day, there is obviously a problem - or they should stop selling/auctioning names during week-ends, etc., and clearly tell people: "If there is a problem, wait until Monday."

Yikes!

Still down.

I still have two "pending" .tels with them.

Makes you wonder.

Do you think they're preparing for the live .tel event?

I have heard nothing but good things about Dynadot, but maybe they're in over their heads?

Perhaps a representative could come on this thread and reassure us?

Sucks to cause I'm tasting a few names, guess I will be stuck holding onto some of them, couldnt even login to delete them for credit.

Must have caught a few tasters in this downtime...

Same. Assuming they're back up in less than 24 hours I should be okay, but seriously, this looks unprofessional. What do I tell my new clients when they can't even access the registrar for an entire 24-hr cycle? Not to mention the drops I missed yesterday and possibly today if they don't get it together soon.

I was enjoying using Dynadot, but this is making me angry fast.

ripley.

I've never seen them down this long. I know sometimes late at night they are down for 20-30 minutes for maintenance purposes, but that's the only downtime I've ever seen from them. I doubt it's their own fault, must be a DDOS attack, which I'm reading about now, since I had no clue before what it was. I'm just wondering why anyone would target Dynadot, and do a DDOS attack? A competing registrar perhaps?

dmi · Mar 2, 2009

Down here as well. This is the first time I've seen them being out for hours. I hope it's nothing serious.

Tribulatio · Mar 2, 2009

Well, in their part of the world, it will soon be Monday morning, so technical experts will probably come to work and it should hopefully be solved in a few hours.

But it will have been down for more than 24 hours...

I have moved probably hundred domain names to Dynadot since the beginning of the year, but I start wondering if it was the right decision. The rare times I needed e-mail support, it appeared not to be working over week-ends (a glitch in their auction system on a Saturday, which prevented me from buying a name I was bidding on...). And now that... I hope that they will at least provide an explanation.

MicroGuy · Mar 2, 2009

This outage has lasted for 24 hours without any real news from DynaDot. It seems they could at a minimum periodically update the existing website notice with status updates. :ghost:

According to a recorded telephone greeting @ 1-650-585-1961, a live person won't become available until 9:00 PST which is 12:00 EST (:talk

.

Hopefully, they will provide some details at that time.

This is really bad for me. I had been tasting about 150 domain names all of which had their grace periods expire this morning. I tried to grace delete them with about 26 hours remaining, but the site has been down since. Am I going to be stuck with the $1500.00 registration for these domains? Will Dynadot refund me even though the grace period expired? This is so unprofessional. Their support email still hasn't contacted me back and it's impossible to get them on the phone on the weekends. I know Internic has the 5 day grace period rules, and I always grace delete my names with 25-26 hours remaining to be safe. This is crazy if I'm going to be stuck with 150+ domain names because Dynadot can't keep their site up and running. Will Internic make an exception for Dynadot because of this downtime?

This is terrible

Their support over weekends being minimal to nonexistent, I have never managed to get a reply via e-mail during week-ends. You will certainly get a reply, but only by Monday working hours their time...
It is a pity: Dynadot has one of the best interfaces on the market, refreshingly uncluttered, very pleasant to use - their problem is the support.

Down.

Agree 100%, I love their interface, pricing, everything.

However if they don't tell us what happened, and assure that they're not going to let it happen again, I will have to move my domains.

Sadly, I will have to consider doing the same - unless there is a satisfactory explanation provided.

onlinelife · Mar 2, 2009

They are one of the best for domain registration in current market. Let's hope everything will normalize within few hours more..!
