[RESOLVED] easyDNS outage in progress

Update: 6:10PM EST Situation Resolved

The situation has been resolved, we have temporarily shutdown access to web servers and SMTP while our systems sync up and reset, we should be back to full functionality within 10 to 20 minutes.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding, we’re very sorry this occurred and we’ll be posting an RFO on the main blog in the near future.


 

easyDNS is experiencing an outage affecting the main easydns website, the control panel and easyMail.

The impact on easyMail is that inbound mail is being deferred and will be queued remotely by originating servers pending a retry. No email will be lost or bounced.

DNS is unaffected.

The reason why is a database issue, we are not under a DDOS.. Ops are in the process of rectifying this right now.

  Why are we posting this here on Zoneedit?

We recently updated our website front end and made the decision to move the blog (including the status channel) from blog.easydns.org to www.easydns.com/blog (regretting that at the moment), as such, the status blog is contained within the affected systems.

We will post any updates in this space, ideally the next update will be a resolution, followed by a post-incident RFO to the main blog.

Please hang in there, we know email unavailability is one of the most painful outages to undergo (especially on a Monday!), ours is affected too.

Your patience is highly valued.

Intermittent problems accessing control panel

Over the last few days users have intermittently encountered problems when trying to access the Zoneedit contol panel at https://cp.zoneedit.com.

Error encountered is:

We are experiencing technical difficulties (ca).

This is sometimes occurring because the number of database connections from the control panel to the database backend has maxed out. In other words, it’s a capacity issue on the DB.

We have provisioned new hardware and will be rebuilding the DB backend this coming week (Oct 17th, 2016) and will be bringing the new DB online by end-of-week.

In the meantime, if this occurs please know we are aware of the problem and will get the immediate situation under control when it happens while we execute the upgrade.

Thanks for understanding.

MAINTENANCE WINDOW: Friday, April 29, 2:00 PM-4:00 PM EDT

We will be performing emergency maintenance on dynamic.zoneedit.com, our dynamic DNS update server, today between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM EDT. Customer impact is expected to be minimal, but domains using dynamic dns may experience delayed updates during this period.

We apologize for the short notice.
