.co .co was down for about an hour

[Alan Glennon]

From Twitter reports, it appears the entirety of the .co tld was down from about 1215 PST to 1315PST. In particular, Google and Twitter's g.co and no_url_shorteners domains did not resolve during the period. I started diagnosing the problem on my own domains at 1310 and things starting reappearing before I made any progress.

Hacker News thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8940980):
"It appears to be a DNS problem, with no A records being reported when running a simple 'dig no_url_shorteners'. I personally can't load any .co domains. Someone suggested it may be an AWS -> .co issue: https://twitter.com/maccaw/status/559077778507571201"
