We have a network issue causing delays or even downtime on some routes. You therefore may not be able to load our web site until this is resolved which we are working on as quickly as possible and will post an update shortly.

Hi Everyone,

Yes, we have our tech team at our data center to fix the issue as soon as possible. This is our first prolonged outage in several years and we are extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We are keeping our Facebook and Twitter pages updated with information and will try to post here as well...

 

[karmaco]

Thanks for the update

 

[namesilo]

Not really much in the way of an update other than this appears to be hardware-related, not network as it initially appeared. Still working as quickly as possible and will post updates as we can...

Yes, that is the error message shown. We are working as quickly as we can to resolve this problem and we apologize again for the inconvenience.

It seems that it is back up and working, at least for me here in western Canada.

So @karmaco if it was you that broke it, don't worry, it's all fixed now (although I'd be worried about the domainer naughty list for Santa gifts)

Back up in USA

The systems have been restored. The problem was a pretty massive and simultaneous hardware failure on one of our core servers. We have redundant systems so we were able to migrate to one of those to help minimize the downtime. We may be doing system tests over the next few days which could result in additional downtime, but, at this time, we are hoping not to have to do so.

We apologize again for this inconvenience. This was our first prolonged outage in several years, but we still understand that any downtime is troublesome and we are sorry again that it occurred. Please also note that at no time were core services such as DNS, name server resolution, email forwarding, etc. down as those run on entirely separate and redundant systems of their own.

Now Working fine

Hi Everyone. We will be performing system maintenance at about 8:30am Arizona time today. We anticipate about 30 minutes. During this time, our web site will not be accessible, but all services such as DNS, email forwarding and parking will not be impacted.

This maintenance is to perform a few system tests related to the new hardware put in place based upon the issues that led to the downtime earlier this week. We apologize for any inconvenience.
