Saturday, September 24. 2005

We are currently under DDoS attack, the remote nameservers are down, ns1 and ns2 are up except for anybody transiting over shawcable.net networks.

We are working with our upstream providers and remote admins to resolve this and apologize for any ill effects.

In the meantime we continue to move forward to mitigate these attacks on a more sustainable basis and will be posting developments in these channels over the coming days.

Update at 4:13pm EST Shawcable.net problems stabilized around 2pm EST and on other fronts remote2 is back online.

Wouldn't it make sense to have the blog. or some sort of status.easydns.org completely seperate so customers can get some idea of what's going on... I checked this morning and any easydns.* site must be DNS served by you ....

In cases like this morning we had no where to go for information in the case where DNS was completely unavailable.... Perhaps I've missed a URL somewhere?

Definitely a good idea to host a status page / status blog using something other than the easyDNS name servers.

Up until recently, I really enjoyed being a customer of EasyDNS, and because of that was willing to deal with the DDOS issue for a little while. However this is just becoming ridiculous. I for one, have signed up with a different DNS provider this morning and am in the process of moving our domains over. This issue has affected our business and we can not afford it. Sorry EasyDNS. Next time you should move faster on putting new equipment in place. This has been going on for way to long.
