Afternic apologize for the recent outage. We recently implemented some changes to our website that apparently caused more queries than we expected and overworked out database. We are planning to add an additional database to handle this surge in queries. Solving this database problem has been the highest priority for today and will continue to be a focus of our team this week.

We were not aware of the downtime as it happened in part because the outage occurred during the move of our offices from Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando, which was wrapping up this weekend. We are also changing our monitoring to make it more effective. Thank you for your understanding.
