Afternic down?

[SirDrago]

I've been trying to log into my account for 15 minutes and continue to get an error.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have experienced connectivity issues for several weeks and it just seems to be getting worse. To the point I am unable to access my account on any device.

To add a domain requires you to go through multiple pages/steps. If you experience connectivity issues during one of the steps, the domains will not be added to your portfolio in the end (even though you get the confirmation at the end). If Afternic is intially unable to load during one of the steps, the domains will not be added, even if everything looks fine after you refresh. I just discovered that lots of domains I added over the past weeks did not get added to my portfolio. If Afternic.com is unable to load during one of the steps, start over from step 1 instead of refreshing. If the website is able to connect properly during each step, the domains will be added as normal.

If you have experienced connectivity issues when adding domains during the past weeks, and had to refresh during this process, it's probably a good idea to go back and check of those listings went through.

Also, afternic does not automatically encrypt pages via https. It defaults to unencrypted http. That's not good when you enter and send your username and password. There is an extension called HTTPS Everywhere (by EFF) that enables https automatically. It's not always possible to establish a secure connection to Afternic's site, but with the extension https will at least be used by default when possible. Right now their website seems to default to unecrypted http (at least on my devices/browsers) even on log in pages.

I've tried reaching afternic to no avail...

Anyone knows whats going on?

Works for me.

Internet is behaving strangely today. Just a few hours ago various sites weren't working for me... they work now :/

Afternic DOWN AGAIN...

NO COMMENT.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Down a lot for me too lately but I can often access from a VPN. Seems like they are blocking a large range of IPs for some strange reason.

 

[900Worldwide]

Down for me as well, pretty strange.

Afternic landing pages are not working a lot of the time as well... it's unfortunate if the landing page is not working the moment a prospective buyer visits. Similarly, just like it's incredibly hard to log in a lot of the time, I imagine it's no easier to sign up and log in to buy a name for a prospective buyer.

I tried buying a name on Afternic recently, and it turned out to be impossible due to endless glitches. Had to buy it through sedo eventually...

 

[SirDrago]

I constantly have to clear my cache or reboot.
If they can't get their sh!t together I'll move all to sedo.
@Joe Styler what's going on?

I wanted to give afternic a second chance and this is what i ran into?

Isn't this a Godaddy issue then?

Honestly nothing seems to be flawless when GD is someway involved.
What a PITA

 

[pinkdragon]

Working here, but very slow.

I don't think I have seen it down at all. I've been logging into it several times a day, too.

I have some suggestions (more than 50 domains per page) and to speed up the process. (I transferred my domain to Afternic several days ago, but am still waiting on their verification.) But, it has been working for me.

 

[SirDrago]

Taken 1 minute ago.... Literally!

We have people looking into this actively. I will give you an update when I find out more.
