[notjustpixels]

Anyone else lost connectivity to VPS.NET or UK2?

[Oli-Myshoutcast]

UK2.net is 100% down. I just got through to midphase as we have a server with them and was advised this is a network issue.

There appears to be a network issue in our London datacenter. The VPS.NET website is hosted off site at SoftLayer however the nameservers for it are hosted at our London datacenter, which took the site offline.

I will attempt to update this thread as we bring everything back online.

Indeed, UK2 / 100TB is down in London for me as well.

Going on 25 minutes now.

Issue appears to be BGP related as all their IP's have dropped from the global BGP routing tables.

VPS.net is 100% down here. Hope they get things resolved quicky

UK2 doesn't even seem to announce a route to me past BT (I am located in the UK and am using BT right now)

Just to clarify, every location other than London is online now, which is experiencing a network issue.

Both also down for me.
Aren't VPS.net on a cloud?

Nameservers are hosted at our London datacenter, which is why the site went down. We'll be changing that...

Just a network issue. We have our lead network engineers working on it now.

No matter the issue we have software and hardware backups ready to be deployed if necessary, so I expect we'll have everyone back online very soon.

Thanks for the update, any idea how long roughly other then shortly?

[Psycnosis]

We also have a dedicated server with UK2.

Is there any timeline on when it might be done? Like are we talking minutes or wont be back on till tomorrow?

thanks for all info you may be able to give us.

[Oli-Myshoutcast]

Midphase say they have no idea how long it will last for and just to be patient and that they are working as fast as they can....
