Yes just received a message PingdomAlert DOWN: ..... is down since 22/05/2011 12:16:12AM. I have had it with Knownhost, worst service by a host. This is the 2nd time my site has gone down. This is the last time i will be hosting any sites with them. They have been going down this year in terms of service and customer support. Time to get some DDos excuse by KH or their employees here.

Yep. And 2nd time in past 30-40 days :-(

Searching the outage forum, I see they have been down a couple times this month and last month.......
Posted by TechRanker, 05-21-2011, 04:31 PM
I'm back up now........
Posted by Fastian, 05-21-2011, 04:32 PM
Yea, back for me too

Yep, down for me too. Luckily, looks like LA datacenter is OK this time. My Texas server is down though. This is getting frustrating for sure. I can't have this keep happening. I already have a credit for my account from the previous DDoS at the LA datacenter. EDIT: Take that back - It just came back online.

its high time for a Host change.
Posted by 4bidden, 05-21-2011, 04:42 PM
What timezone is that time for? I'd like to calculate my downtime so I can request a credit.

15 minutes of downtime to a DDOS. We acted fast as usual and it was taken care of. Uptime is a core focus of ours and this is an example of us being on top of things. Sorry for any inconveniences.
Posted by NeoComp, 05-21-2011, 08:08 PM
one or two 15 minutes downtimes in last year is not so critical and usually you acted fast ... but your main site and support center also were down now ... I would like an off site or a more redundant helpdesk. Critical for me is not to have a way to obtain more detailed info about an issue "while it is happening".

Is anyone else having issues connecting to knownhost? Anyclue what the problem is and when it will be back up and running?

Updates Current Update There has been an issue affecting one of our 6 service entrances. The actual ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) is having an issue and all vendors are on site. Unfortunately, this is affecting service entrance 2 in the 3000 Irving facility so it is affecting a lot of the customers that have been here the longest. The other entrance in 3000 is still up and working fine as well as the 4 entrances in 3004. Customers utilizing A/B should have access to their secondary link. It does appear that some customers were affected by a switch that had a failure in 3000. That has been addressed and should be up now. This is not related to the PDU maintenance we had in 3004 last night. Separate building, service entrance, UPS, PDU, etc. We will be updating customers as we get information from our vendors so that they know the estimated time for the outage. Once this has been resolved we also distribute a detailed RFO to those affected. Our electrical contractors, UPS maintenance team and generator contractor are all on-site and working to determine what the best course of action is to get this back up. Previous: 12:40 Colo4 is currently experiencing a power issue.

Current Update It has been determined that the ATS will need repairs that will take time to perform. Fortunately Colo4 has another ATS that is on-site that can be used as a spare. Contractors are working on a solution right now that will allow us to safely bring that ATS in and use it as a spare while that repair is happening. That plan is being developed now and we should have an update soon as to the time frame to restore temporary power. We will need to schedule another window when the temp ATS is brought offline and replaced by the repaired ATS.
