DZComposer Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The site was down for several hours.Bascially the power system asploded at Dreamhost and it fried their routers.I've been eying Amazon AWS lately. Not sure I'm gonna jump to it, but I'll keep you guys posted if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Supposedly it was the datacenter-wide UPS that took a crap on itself. It did so in a way that it didn't failover, resulting in a 5-hour downtime and frying of routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupelocase Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 You think they'd use more than one UPS. It kinda defeats the purpose if main line of defense is connected to everything and has potential risks itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snys93 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was wondering what happened. Thanks DZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fana McCloud Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Jeebus yeah, you'd think they'd have some REDUNDANCY. Guess that's just always been Dreamhost's MO - cheap but unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ori Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So that's what caused the horrible irony joke of my sibling, that StarFox-Online is Offline. Anyway, good thing everything is up and running again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
