It has become evident that our DNS provider, ZoneEdit is being DDoS'd. This is resulting in erratic DNS replies, meaning that some of our hosted web sites may not be accessible via their domain names. Using the temporary url listed in your Welcome Email should work, however.

This post will be updated when we receive any new information.

We are currently experiencing a distributed denial of service attacke (DDOS) on two of our nameservers, ns14.zoneedit.com and ns19.zoneedit.com. We are working with our ISP's to get these servers returned to full operation as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience as we work to restore service for these servers.

Update: The DDoS still does not seem to be under control. ZoneEdit has not posted any updated report as of yet.

A tertiary nameserver has been purchased, which is located in Germany. Once this change propagates the problem should hopefully be fixed.
