How long ago? Could be just a short outage or something.

I hope so but there seems no access to their support. over 2 hrs without notice.

Randy

maybe a hardware failure? shit happens, give it time? you should not consider as a dead pool unless it has pass at least 48 hours? check their TW

dearroy

@Randy As my server with them also got disconnected at the same time.i would rather take it as a network outage,however,as they colo with QuadraNet,i dont think it will be network outage.

This is why your company site should be on a different network than your nodes...

Damian

2 hours down and it's being called deadpooled? Srsly?

Deutsche Telekom (DTAG) went to deadpool! I had no DSL Internet at home for the last 2 hours and their hotline is always busy!!11!1!1!11!!!! ;)

Seriously: Good luck to the OP. Hopefully, it is just an outage!

Now it's 7 hrs down and no response from their support email. I am not going to conclude deadpool but refer to the past post about them,this seems to be true.

U wouldn't should Deadpool just yet. Look how long KiloServ was down.

Kiloserve's site was down for a while but (most) client's VPSs were not.

Liam

They were selling VPS of OVH. So I'm pretty sure they were reselling dedis too.

2 hrs is nothing. just wait. they might have just gotten some networking issues. not sure if they're hosting the site on the same network as their hosting stuffs.

Randy

yeah, i think you should wait at least 48 hours to start any accusations

Maounique

I dont think that saying about someone that are in the deadpool is an accusation. After all, it may not be voluntary, it could be a fact of life, however, after what I read around, doesnt look rosy. I mean it didnt look like it will last from the start. It is too early to draw conclusions but, maybe the site and customers are down, however LET/WHT are not. They could have said something. M

Randy

I mean by making wild guess. as far as i knows shits DO happens

Looks like @dearroy isn't the only one who thinks DixHost is deadpool

Looks like they use their own servers. Also, Admin Phone:+1.4772402365

What makes you believe they own their servers?

dominicl

Well, I'd presume they use some of those ns for their shared plans

Only 9 nameservers? Amateurs.

your dedicated was working till yesterday?? read in WHT week back, its in dead pool already...

Randy

I wonder if all their 9 ns points to the same ip. ;-)

Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

I had an outage for 12 hours back when I was at another DC and the soCal powegrid failed.

Calm the heck down.

HalfEatenPie

@NickM: isn't it just a bad idea (and pointless) to have the nameservers BE THE SAME IPs/MACHINES?

If this guy is trying to make himself look like a "big company" just by having multiple "nameservers", then he's sadly mistaken.

Looking at this it says they have been suspended by OVH and are moving providers. Sounds like they really do have huge problems. I would consider it dead and move on.

jarland

You and your puny 4 nameservers. Well I have five......thousand.

Yep they are reselling servers from ServerSavior i guess. but if you know about ServerSavior,you will find it shitty cause it is run by R.Burns,the owner of CheetahHost(Deadpool).

Can you tolerate the company say something on WHT instead of responsing to clients' emergency ticket?
