Anyone else having issues getting on the Cloudatcost admin panel or your hosted server?

Yes... seems like their entire system is down.

Yes, and now I am glad I moved to Digital Ocean.....

@Hubtech Thanks I will keep an eye on the twitter feed. I know they have a small team but it would be nice to email customers when they have an issue. I don't have anything important on there so it isn't a big deal.

The honeymoon is over!

Ok... so at least this helps me verify that monitor.us still works after injecting CloudFlare into the mix.

They are now reporting it's an upstream provider.

Means they need a more resilient network of providers.

Hey Everybody!

Aman here from Cloudatcost.

As many of you already know, we are currently having an issue with an upstream provider at our data center. Our technicians are working on this.

I will keep you all updated with any information I receive.

Thanks for letting us know Aman, in the intro video you posted a bit ago it mentioned you had redundant upsteam providers. Did something not flip over correctly?

Any status on the failover? Why did one carrier bring down the entire business?

It's still down http://mangolassi.it/topic/4116/cloudatcost-currently-offline/50?page=3

I was wondering about feedback on why a single ISP failure took down the entire cloud rather than failing over to another ISP. I would expect a few seconds disruption and slower performance, not an outage from just Rogers being offline.

I see the SBC Global link has started responding again, sounds like that is the start of repairs getting done.

With this much wide spread outage I'm wondering if it was an attack on the backbones rather than someone cutting fiber

That certainly seems possible.

Rogers is stating that the issues are power related.

But it appears that the outage is spreading east. Maybe the outages are not related?

Dunno, I'd be surprised if they didn't have both UPS and large Natural Gas (connected to underground lines so little limit on run time) Generators on the backbone.
