What's up at Porkbun?

Not_OlesNot_Oles Moderator, Patron Provider

Hey! I have several domains with Porkbun. All of them suddenly stopped resolving. Tried with dig from various locations and none get an IP address. Was sporadically working sometimes. Saw a few times when IPv4 was returned but not IPv6. Everything still working fine with numerical IP addresses. Anybody else seeing something similar with a Porkbun domain? Thanks! 👍

    Yes, saw an alert and immediately changed my nameservers for my domains. That also took a while but everything seems pretty alright now, some propagation left to do maybe

  • Try whois on your domain and check the status code. If it’s either clientHold or serverHold, immediately contact porkbun

  • Update: looks like porkbun’s nameservers are down. dig +trace gives timeout on their servers.

    Lesson learned: don’t use registrar nameservers.

    Hi @bruh21 and @Kousaka! Thanks for helping! I'm okay with stuff not working sometimes. It happens to everyone occasionally. The domains I have with Porkbun have worked just fine for years. Their support guys are really fun -- they seem to enjoy joking around. So, Porkbun will fix everything very 🔜! Oink!

    Yes. I've also noticed this. I registered a new domain with them two days ago, was not able to add it to cloudflare. It seemed Porkbun had some issue verifying the registration with the new domain. A few minutes ago I tried again and this time it worked.

    Maybe it's time y'all stop overpaying for domains and go to Sav.

    Maybe it's time you go to Google Domains Turkey since that's also cheaper.

  • ArkasArkas Moderator

    2 of mine still don't resolve.

    Hello,

    We experienced a DDoS attack on our DNS servers last evening that may have caused issues with our DNS and hosted products. Our dev team was able to mitigate the attack and domains should be resolving at this time.

    If you continue to experience DNS resolution issues, please write us back and we will look into any potential further issues.

    And have my domains under a fake identity?

    That is terrible advice. GD sucks big time!

    Hi @bruh21!

    Was that something Porkbun sent to you originally, or was it a response to your inquiry? I didn't write to Porkbun, and I didn't get this or any similar message. I am guessing you wrote to Porkbun and this was their reply.

    Hope you are having a good day!

    gonna check this out i guess, i think "cloud" being in the name plus the spelling (IS IT CLOU DNS OR CLOUD NS WHAT THE FUCK) has always triggered a soft ignore in my forebrain.

    edit: nevermind, looked at their plans, sticking with he.net
    edit2: fuck that spelling! fuck them!

    the only real downside to he.net dns that i can think of is how fucking slow they are to pull updates from my hidden masters. could definitely hurt if you needed to change records in a hurry, like in a dr situation or such.

    I use a self-hosted DNS solution (PowerDNS) for most of my domains, with some exceptions. Maybe i'm lucky, but never experienced outage for example with BookMyName, InternetBS, and Forpsi registrar's official nameserves. These are 'rock solid' for me so never wanted to change them with an 'unknown' external providers.
