nope, works for me (in EU)

  Some domains are working but many are not. first hit on DDG: stuffin.space

Doesn't work for me either right now. Google apps is also failing to resolve it.
- ustad 1y ago
  Wonder why some are working. I am searching DDG with “site:.space”

Down for us as well.
- ustad 1y ago
  Email seems to be affected as well :(
  - eerikkivistik 1y ago
    Whois isn't even showing the domains and name servers. Not to mention DNS records. Its like the domains don't exist anymore.
    - ustad 1y ago
      Is there a “status page” for TLDs?
      - eerikkivistik 1y ago
        No idea. Never actually seen a failure like this in practise.

The .space zone seems to have gone from 973093 domains to 447730
- ustad 1y ago
  Where did you get that number?

I contacted spaceship.com support, and they said there's a problem with this TLD.

@dang or anyone Can someone push this up since it’s becoming quite serious and I don’t know what to do.
- eerikkivistik 1y ago
  Agreed, let's upvote this thread higher to get some eyes on this.

Namecheap also reported it: https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/issue-with-space-domains/ https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/issue-with-space-do...
- ustad 1y ago
  Thanks - at least I’m not going mad.
  - jatone 1y ago

My .space domains seem to work again

  It seems to ping-pong back and forth. Our monitoring is basically spamming us with DNS down, DNS up every 5 minutes or so.

So we resolved this by switching away from Cloudflare handling our DNS to revert it back to our domain service provider (Namecheap). This made our site available again. Now we've switched it back to Cloudflare and still looks up. So something in changing it seems to have jiggled some bits somewhere. / turn it on and off again / I guess
- hunkins 1y ago
  Yup, appears to be an turn off turn on fix. Very frustrating though for such a critical piece of infrastructure

Looks like the zone file is back to normal size now.
