Latest Update: Our webserver just got way overloaded and was pretty hard to access over the last couple hours. I've rebooted the machine and it's doing fine. I'll monitor the machine and we're going to ensure that it's stable. We will also ensure a failover webserver is properly configured in the future at a different location. There was no DNS outage during this problem as the web server does nothing besides serve webpages and do some email for us.

Quote:last night my websites experienced downtime due to the inability to contact your nameservers, 

I've read your updates here

where you say there was no DNS outage,

 

well I was experiencing it, so that's why I'm emailing you, on IRC I asked a few friends from different parts of the world to ping linux-noob.com (they couldnt) and then to ping the everydns name servers (they couldnt)

 

you can see snippets of that conversation below

 

so, this email is to wish you good luck in fixing this issue and also to inform you that DNS was inaccesible for me and others last night.
