No, it is down, my box is down as well as their sites.

I sent an email, but knowing xirvik it will take 18 hours before I receive a reply...

First time I see this happen.

Heh, as I posted this, everything was back up 2 mins afterwards.

That's a rather crappy way to introduce myself to this forum..lol.

Edit. So I emailed them myself . 20 minutes later got a reply .

There's an outgoing attack on our DNS provider .


Not a long time for their undoubtedly busiest day of the year .

No it's not. This is a DNS problem caused by a Denial-of-Service attack on the company that runs our DNS service (Zerigo). It affects all their customers, not just us.

If you sent an email then it was replied with your server's IP address so you can continue operating normally. Please don't spread misinformation.

LOL. First main day with Xirvik today. I trialled a dedi yesterday and was so impressed that I have now paid up for 3 months. I was wondering what the hell I had got myself into, but having said that, I'm sure this isn't a common occurrance. My IP address was looking at me in the account settings, but how many of us would have taken much notice until today?

BTW, Xirvik took about 6 hours to get back to me, but in the circumstances I think it was quite understandable/acceptable. However, I think they have learned from this by keeping their twitter page up to date.

It's a bit like being stuck in a traffic jam - things arn't so bad once you have information as to what is going on.
