Has something else happened now, I'm having more problems accessing all my websites... even theplanet.com?
Even Alertra shows this problem, it looks like another nameserver problem.

I can't reach The Planet, or any of our websites....
Called tech support was told that there is no ETA at all on fixing this, just that they are aware and working on it... :-///
This is really *really* not good... our site gets 100's of visits each minute :-(

Yes it appears like theplanet nameservers are down right now. It looks like it happened sometime around 1430 CST.

How does one safeguard against this?
Would having our own off-site DNS save us from being affected by this kind of a downtime??

I host my own DNS and I am up http://dcbbfiles.com
That is a site I host for a friend on a TP server.

Host DNS on your own servers. If you only have a server or two simply host DNS on them...if the servers are down who cares if DNS is also down?

Both nameservers are working fine here now.

Well it's weird because we don't actually use their nameservers... we make new NS records for each domain, and run DNS from our servers through Plesk....

Looks like it's back up now

Not for me... maybe propagation delay.

So you don't use TP DNS but your DNS is not working? Sounds like something else is going on or somewhere you are dependent on it.
As far as propagation, it is instant HOWEVER your ISP may be caching since the server was not replying.

eth00: Yes, DNS is almost always cached locally, hence smkied's problem.
smkied: As I mentioned in the Crissic thread in this forum, you can always get around a bad DNS cache (or, for that matter, a bad DNS) by hard-coding the IP address into your hosts file. Google it if you don't already know what it is.

Dear Valued Customer:
On Sunday, Jan. 12, 2009, between 12:01 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. CST, The Planet will perform scheduled maintenance on our DNS management systems. This maintenance will update our internal Orbit database zone data with the information already in the DNS MySQL database, so we do not anticipate any changes to the external-facing system during the maintenance. Because this maintenance will not require any live DNS migrations or changes, you should not experience any site/server downtime.
whoops...I guess that's in January.
