What about the thousands of potential sites down through adhost. I work for a webdesign company and our servers are in that building thats a couple hundred of ours that are down. Including dozens of online stores.
Colo’s being down is bad juju.

http://www.dotster.com is down. We host through Dotster and our e-mail goes through Dotster, and both are still down as of 3:55 PM EST. Dotster hosts lots of sites and apparently they may be down as well, although I am not certain. Thus all of our sites are down. Too many to list

Our Dotster hosted sites are down as well. A note on the dotster support page reads:
“Due to a fire that has disrupted power to one of our data centers, some customer services are currently offline. This outage impacts some web hosting customers and VPS customers as well as email services. Power is being restored in the data center and we are currently working to restore connectivity and systems to bring services back online. There is currently no ETA. All available resources at the data center are working to restore services

July 3rd, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Our Dotster-hosted sites and mail have been out since just after midnight last night, we were told it was adata center fire and service would be back sometime between 6PM and 2AM.

I dunno whether Bing’s equipment is responsible, but for a “mssion-critical” data center to be knocked out by an entirely predictable failure without automatic switching to mirrors seems very poor disater management.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Cachehunter, Another geocacher:
geocaching.com is, and has been the third site listed.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:53 pm

July 3rd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
i feel for everyone that has to deal with this outage right now. regardless of which side of these services you’re on – vendor, customer, or the like – you’re in a shitty situation. when this is all over get yourself a beer/ice cream cone/xanex.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Match.com is down. Related?
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
i went down to fisher plaza and the ceo of adhost personally helped me move our servers to their other building and he even set up the new routing. the engineers are all very calm and focused and working their asses off. good people doing their best in the face of calamity. you’ll all be back up in an hour or two.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
We’re down too:
http://windowssecrets.com/
Unfortunately our disaster recovery plan did not account for an extended, temporary outage. We’d be back up by now if Seattle had suddenly sunk into the ocean.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
The canyon river ranch website is also completely down. We are located in Central Washington
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:45 pm

July 3rd, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Fortunately, ecommerce site http://www.anenka.com was not affected due to their redundancy location at NAP of the Americas in Miami, FL
July 3rd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Hi Kyle,
TV news just reported that Swedish Medical Center and Tully’s Coffee experienced Web site problems, but the sites were up when I last checked.
Also, Redfin was down earlier today, but we just posted on how the company was able to get their site running before most people were rolling out of bed. Seems odd to me that so many other companies didn’t take these precautions.

And Dotster is not updating their status page (last update was about 6 hours ago.)
And Dotster is not giving any expected ETA for an uptime.

July 3rd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
my site http://offbeatmammal.com is also down – I guess a symptom of being an AdHost customer.
Hope this doesn’t ruin their 4th July weekend … wonder how much business this world class facility will lose as a result

July 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Does anyone know if they are letting people in the door to reboot their servers when the power goes on? I don’t want to wait and wonder when it will happen.
http://www.cybercoupons.com is still out!!

July 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Over 30,000 domains are down at our Fisher Plaza Data Center.
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Playstream Streaming servers. Just as I was launching for an important client. How can they not be prepared for this after the first fire?
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I have about 20 websites that are down because of the fire. All of these sites are hosted by Dotster. I am surprised to see that they do not have them mirrored at an offsite location.
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:03 pm
http://www.dotster.com is up, but the email hosting server dotsterhost.com is still down. No emails have come through since last night.
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:15 pm
our website is down here in Hawaii too due to the fire
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Our web site http://www.celebratekirkland.org is down and the timing is especially bad since it’s the web site for Kirkland’s 4th of July celebration.
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I printed off the geocaches and benchmarks two days ago that I plan to do on Sunday. It is still frustrating to have both Geocaching.com and Waymarking.com down. I hope that they will be back up soon.
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
You mentioned geocaching.com, which is true, but all of Groundspeak’s servers are in there, so their other sites are affected too.
The following are all registered domains by Groundspeak that have been affected:
http://www.groundspeak.com/
http://www.waymarking.com/
http://www.whereigo.com/
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I have turned off the phone and already taken some sleepy pills. So, everyone just chill.
I feel like I have lost all credibility with my customers and I think Internap will use the “Natuaral Calamity” clause in their contract to put me under.
July 3rd, 2009 at 9:11 pm
http://www.clocklink.com is down.

I sympathize with all my fellow geocachers. Fortunately my trip yesterday was not affected because I’d already downloaded my pocket query. Now I’m itching to log the 20 I found. I feel bad for anyone who wanted to go this weekend and doesn’t have their caches downloaded. Bummer for a holiday weekend.

If your site is critical to your business, you should have geographically redundant data centers. I don’t understand why so few companies realize that their biggest SPOF is their physical location.
