DNS nameservers affected by DDoS

Sunday, November 21st, 2010

Our DNS nameservers are currently receiving an inbound DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack which can affect network speed and latency, which means some sites may load slower than normal or time out. We are working to block this attack.

18:15 There is a large inbound DDOS (Denial of Service) attack currently on-going. We are working to filter out the offending traffic. All servers are working although websites may sometimes timeout.

22:10 This attack is still on-going. We have blocked the vast majority of offending traffic and we are continuing to do so as new IP addresses are detected.

Problem with 3rd dns nameserver

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

23:22 We wish to advise customers that our technical team have identified an issue with our 3rd DNS nameserver. Nameservers 1 and 2 are operating as normal, but the problem with nameserver 3 may delay DNS changes (e.g. if you add/remove a parked domain it will take longer than usual). We hope to resolve this problem shortly.
