Down Time on InvestorBlogger
Last 12 hours have been pretty bad for many sites hosted on Dreamhost.com.
Many of my personal sites were unavailable including this one, but all of my customers’ sites were! I guess that meant visitors to this blog were unable to view the pages. To them, sorry! I hope you come back.
For the better part, it looks like the problems are resolved. But no definitive word on what was causing the problems yet.
It seems the reason was found:
“We have identified a runaway process that has been erroneously eating domain DNS records and that has been killed. The missing DNS data is being restored as quickly as possible now so any domains still down should be restored in the next couple of hours. We have already pushed out new software with safeguards against this situation happening again. The network intermittence yesterday caused database connection problems which triggered a race condition in our code.”
Thanks, guys!
