http://www.eastcoastservers.com/ has been down for at least a day, are they out of business?

Jon,

I do not know if this pertains to them or not, but I do know there was an outage on the east coast last night due to a downed AT&T fiber optic cable. It affected UUnet and in turn affected my sites as well.

This may or may not apply to http://www.eastcoastservers.com/ .

I do know that all my stuff came back up aroung 10:15 last night, but I do not know whether the problem has been totally resolved yet.

Regards,
Michael

Jon,

This is their number.

1-302-436-7440

If it is a technical problem, they will probably have a message stating the circumstances and an ETA on a resolution.

Also, their email is sales@eastcoastservers.com.

Good Luck,
Michael

I wouldnt be suprised if they were out of business, they didnt practice very good business practices. But your in luck there are tons of good dedicated server providers right here on this very board, im sure if you post what you want someone will accomodate you.

I don't think that this has anything to do with the AT&T outage. Both of their nameservers appear to have no information about the domain eastcoastservers.com:

but they are pingable:
