Dreamhost's core network goes down at 2:20AM.
It went down early this morning and has been struggling to get back up in fits and starts ever since. (Access to dreamhoststatus.com is even spotty. It's hosted off-network, I'm sure that's just because of the pounding of traffic it's getting as America wakes up and goes online.)
For a bit of schadenfreude, do a Titter search for Dreamhost right now. It's a fire hose of complaints.
- kingofspain 16y agoMiddle of the night is middle of the day for some :) Some of my sites are offline (now I know that pingdom really is active at least!). Luckily they are personal, non-critical sites. It's the first serious outage I've had since joining 8 months ago.
- tnorthcutt 16y agoTheir status page contradicts itself... the notice at the top of the most recent post says the network is down... We apologize for the downtime as our core network is offline at the moment. ...but the latest timestamped update says it's not: Update: 7:28pm (Pacific):The network is confirmedly looking much better, but we continue keeping an eye on it. If you’re still having any issues, please submit a ticket with as much details as you can provide, so we can use that to evaluate if your case is unrelated or if there is still something else lurking around waiting to be fixed. We’ll update again as the evening progresses, but so far so good. We very much appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this outage.
