a good few of my sites are with enom
none of their nameservers are pingable (from several locations)
according to opendns all nameservers are unreachable
same reported by http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsrep...omain=enom.com

At least the second time within a month. Have five DNS servers and they all go down? What has happened to Enom?
|
| Posted by dfh_ie, 08-09-2007, 11:31 AM | |

8million websites just dropped of the face of the internet, wonderfull

We made a move to DNSMadeEasy since the last outage and it seems to be well worth the money & time spent.
|
| Posted by sclick95, 08-09-2007, 12:21 PM | |
The 5 NS are up but at least two supplying faulty info.
Latest phone call to their tech support tells me:
1. don't know the cause for today's problem
2. Don't have an ETA for the glue record problem above
3. "when one NS goes down the other 4 can't handle the increased load" - WHAT?????

I switched one of my more importan sites to dyndns's paid service (have several large sites with dyndns and its excellent)
but the problem with dozens of other sites i have on enom persists
what a joke

This is at least the 3rd time of outage within 2 months. Definitely switch to another DNS who is not a magnet for DDoS

4 hours and counting... Ridiculous for DNS...
|
| Posted by 123finder.com, 08-09-2007, 02:20 PM | |
This is what I got from them. But I would not count on it and began to move to another provider. Some time being popular isn't a good thing.
|
| Posted by missilemike, 08-09-2007, 02:33 PM | |
Yeah, I am done with their dns... I transferred to zoneedit...
|

All my dot com domains are down because they've all got enom nameservers. I was thinking it's the least of my worries. Not anymore.
|

Argh! Was wondering what was going on.
Opera could pull up the pages but nothing else, it must have been caching the DNS itself (it gets really aggressive and overrides all kinds of cache timeouts doesn't it?)
enom's DNS is so easy to manage, I'd hate to have to move elsewhere.
Do you think it's a ddos attack?

I think everydns which provide free dns service is better than them. I got some domains there and no problem. Those domains using enom all down!
|
| Posted by aww, 08-09-2007, 03:42 PM | |
It's not down completely, just extremely, extremely slow and timing out most times. But sometimes a browser can get through.
To make firefox ignore enom's three minute dns timeout, you can force it to cache it longer (upon successful connect) by changing or creating in about:config
network.dnscacheexpiration
the setting is in seconds, I just changed to 1800 for now
This lets me get administrative stuff done even though others may not be reaching the site successfully.

I second this, been with dnsmadeeasy for over 2 years now and had 100% uptime.
|
| Posted by mentormatt8, 08-09-2007, 03:52 PM | |
also they are not redirecting my redirect, so... their service seems down too.
|
| Posted by gounder, 08-09-2007, 04:07 PM | |
Indeed eNom seems down for me to from California.
|
| Posted by bitesites, 08-09-2007, 04:09 PM | |
There in fact appears to be issues with eNoms DNS.
|
| Posted by james007, 08-09-2007, 04:19 PM | |
down from my side.
|
| Posted by brashquido, 08-09-2007, 04:23 PM | |
Not happy about having 20+ domains down, so I will be looking elsewhere too I guess. How long does transferring a domain usually take? Also, I take it that dnsmadeeasy only provide DNS hosting for those prices, not domain registrations as well?
|

I'm down too using enom servers via namecheap ...
|
| Posted by Addict, 08-09-2007, 05:18 PM | |
My sites are with namebargain.com - same DNS:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsrep...amebargain.com
These are owned by Register.com - do they really have that much incompetence?
|
| Posted by brashquido, 08-09-2007, 05:31 PM | |
Finally! Seems my DNS is back up. Now to see if I can setup EveryDNS as my secondary DNS provider in case (or rather when) this happens again.

No, DME does not offer domain registration. You just have to recreate all existing records in DME and update Enom to use DME name servers.
|
| Posted by Dave_Z, 08-09-2007, 10:01 PM | |
If you mean transferring domain names among registrars, anywhere from 24 hours to 7 days to eternity.

This is what namecheap.com (linked to enom) said when I asked them about it:
This is the quote from our release dtd 08/09/2007: **************
This morning, we experienced intermittent resolution issues across NameCheap's DNS servers. We have been working to restore service to normal throughout the day. As of 8/9/2007 5:23pm PT, here is where we stand with resolving this issue: This issue has been completely resolved. All services are now running at 100%. Thank you very much for your patience during this time.

It is not good idea to use domain registrar nameserver. Dedicated server owner should use own nameserver and shared hosting owner should use hosting company nameserver.
|
| Posted by stephanhughson, 08-11-2007, 03:00 AM | |
bouncer69, I disagree with your post I'm afraid.
Using your own nameservers on a dedicated server means that there is one point of failure. Should the nameserver running on your server fail, due to high load, the software crashing/stopping, a DOS attack, etc, DNS resolution for your domain would stop entirely.
Using a host's nameservers isn't any less risky than using the nameservers of a domain name registrar. As long as the nameservers you are using are far away from each other geographically and on different networks, you are pretty safe.
I think however, that this case proves it is a good idea to have multiple nameservers, from different companies. I don't know what happened in this case yet, but if it was a DOS attack against one specific company's nameservers, having the zones on extra nameservers would have meant that the domains would still resolve.

what? that's more than a tad short.
dnsmadeeasy does offer domain registration, it's a division called domainsmadeeasy.

One of our clients has Enom NS pointing to 18 websites on his server and not one website is down. Interesting.
|
| Posted by dfh_ie, 08-12-2007, 04:29 AM | |
@Mikie4648 this was few days ago, everything seems fine now
some sites went down others didnt, depending on how the isps cached the DNS
i use openDNS so i noticed straight away there was a problem
