    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

    Is the calendar provider Trumba involved too? I haven’t been able to reach the City of Seattle events calendars that use it (yuck, it’s awful to try to link to) and its site seems to be down too.

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

    newsdata.com
    a publisher of utility industry newsletters. ironic no?

    The funny thing is they probably dont even know. They are so behind the times there, they have the same web site as when they first got online in 1995 and send their mags out as PDFs…

  25. Mohammad Says:

    Does anyone know if XO lines in that building are down and what if anything is being done about it?

  26. Jeff Says:

    You can add Bejeweled Blitz servers to that list…

  42. Mark Maunder Says:

    Hi Todd and John,

    We lost our payment processing this morning for about 8 hours because we use Authorize.net as our gateway. Full service has been restored as of 20 minutes ago. (3:20pm PST). Blog entry here:

  43. Another geocacher Says:

    Yes, I’m totally jonesing for my geocaching.com. :(

  44. Tara Drennen Says:

    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.

    trackrecords.net
    omogc.org
    ssashooter.net

    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.

  45. Kyle Mulka Says:

    Cachehunter, Another geocacher:
    geocaching.com is, and has been the third site listed.

  46. CE Nichols Says:

    PacMed.org (Pacific Medical Centers) is down. Our apologies for any inconvenience!

  47. Mike Says:

    Add Infield Parking – http://www.infieldparking.com to the list.

  48. JB Says:

    http://www.sumtotalsystems.com is also affected.

  49. Scott Otis Says:

    These are down as well because of Adhost:

    http://www.intand.com
    http://www.matthewsestate.com

  50. greg albrecht Says:

    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.

  51. dateless Says:

    Match.com is down. Related?

  52. jed Says:

    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.

  53. Tony Johnston Says:

    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.

  54. Stephanie Says:

    The canyon river ranch website is also completely down. We are located in Central Washington

  55. sam Says:

    http://cozi.com , too.

  56. C Henry Says:

    […] are suffering, including Bing.com’s travel site, Authorize.net and adhost.com, according to a list compiled by Kyle Mulka. And in a domino-effect progression, other sites had trouble, such as those that use Authorize.net […]

  59. Paul Ronda Says:

    Fortunately, ecommerce site http://www.anenka.com was not affected due to their redundancy location at NAP of the Americas in Miami, FL

  60. John Cook Says:

    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.

  67. Steve Says:

    Obeo Virtual Tours Down

  68. Steve Says:

    I host through Dotster.com. The http://www.dotster.com site is up, but customers like myself who have their web sites and email hosted by Dotster are still down.

    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.

  69. Dan Dolson Says:

    sdiving.com
    cfo2go.com
    cdiver.net
    awc-america.com

    All down. We are looking forward to getting back online.

  70. Offbeatmammal Says:

    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

  71. mae Says:

    http://www.apexvs.com

  72. Kim Schoof Says:

  75. Greg Says:

    http://escapia.com is still down, this is an absolute killer for hotels and vacation rental managers. No info on arriving guests, no info on who has and hasn’t paid, no idea what rooms are clean, etc.

  76. Kim Schoof Says:

    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!!

  77. BuckNaked Says:

    DRM provider services for http://*.objectcube.com are down

  78. motherofdog Says:

    It’s 10:48 pm July 3rd on the east coast, guess that’s about 7:48 pm in Seattle. Escapia is still down and it’s well past beer thirty! Sigh…..

  79. Ken Uchikura Says:

    Over 30,000 domains are down at our Fisher Plaza Data Center.

  80. Huh? Says:

    Playstream Streaming servers. Just as I was launching for an important client. How can they not be prepared for this after the first fire?

  81. Bob Smith Says:

    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.

  82. sailj32 Says:

    http://www.dotster.com is up, but the email hosting server dotsterhost.com is still down. No emails have come through since last night.

  83. Jenni Says:

    our website is down here in Hawaii too due to the fire

  84. Don Winters Says:

    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.

  85. Rose Red Says:

    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.

  86. grekit Says:

    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/

  87. Fire-Hot-Hosting-Not Says:

    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.

  88. Ken Uchikura Says:

    http://www.clocklink.com is down.

  89. Possibly related Says:

    mail14.domain.com this may be related. down do to fire at hosting provider (not sure if it’s the fisher plaza fire.).

  90. DenverD Says:

    both still down July 04 2009, 0652 GMT

    well…i didn’t know the website block wouldn’t print here, or i would have written:

    http://texan.dk, http://terslose.com and http://tersloese.com still down at July 4, 2009 0654 GMT 0555 GMT

    :-(

  92. Megan Says:

    Our company, LiveRez, works with Authorize.net, but due to a forward thinking owner, our company has not had a disruption in business.

  99. deb3day Says:

    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.
