Still dead?

Well, they still seem to be off the air. That's a bloody long outage for a 'professional' hosting company.

I guess we should be glad that CUK is not hosted there!

My provider seems to be having it's managed hosting attacked DOS style at the moment according to their online support. They've shut down some of their e-mail servers to allow web traffic through - fair enough in my opinion, e-mail is not guaranteed immediate delivery whereas websites really ought to be.

Maybe the UK is under a bit of a cyber-attack?

Well, that's one time too many that they are off the air. Must be fairly serious if none of their alternative routes etc are available.

Another site I have is hosted by http://www.1and1.com/ and it 'just works'. I think it's time to move the whole lot there, they seem much more reliable.

Turns out 1&1 actually own fasthosts....

Glad I left them last year - they were well expensive anyway.

I'm with Godaddy(domain hosting) and Hostgator(website hosting) now - got to love that fantastico Cpanel

Yep. All Fasthosts and UKReg sites are down. Anyone using them for their domain hosting, forewarding or DNS are currently screwed.

Nice service. Not!

Fasthosts dead?

Hi all,

perhaps it's just me (I'm posting from NL) but I can't get through to any site hosted by fasthosts.co.uk (nor fasthosts themselves).

Just a DNS screwup or something more serious?

Boris
