    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.

    You can monitor the status here: http://zerigostatus.com/

    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.
