Fasthosts Down

Anyone else having probs?

They have a big problem at the moment. there bascially offline.. call 01452541252 option 2 for any updates..

Yep, down for me too. Strange thing is that there are no records on any DNS that I can find. It just seems like they have been wiped off of the face of the earth. Must be a big problem whatever it is.

Yes all my sites are down, as are Fasthosts own site. Webmail doesn't work, UKreg gone too!

They are still down what happened?

So I read a problem with blueyonder and a broken cable

Oh boy, I'm going to have some pretty irate customers tomorrow morning

Looks like BGP routing issues. They have been down for some hours now. It would appear that all their BGP routing information is missing.

Fasthosts DNS runs entirely within the network they operate, so, as a result, DNS resolution has died with it - all bar anything cached which hasn't yet expired.

Still, I remember now why I've always refused to touch them with a bargepole, no matter how "good" a deal they appear to be offering.
