Hostslim VPS and their Website down
Is it just a weird coincidence or all of their services are down? Cant even access their website.
Just woke up to a surprise all of the VPS I have with them are down, and then when I visited their website it cant be reached and even their enduser panel is down too.
Did they just deadpool?

Hi, we have an unplanned emergency maintenance on the core routers. This is being resolved now and rebooting. Engineers are on-site.
Edit: just heard from our NOC engineers it's back online. Some final tests are being done.
main website, client area, servers and dns are hosted on the same network.
I mean if one major part of your company is gonna go offline you might as well host them together so they can all go at same time /s
Google's website is hosted on their own network. Just imagine if their network went down..!
This is why it's important to not have it all hosted on the same network.
For ex, Incognet @MannDude uses BuyVM for their website.
Yup. Its important to separate your points of contact with your customers and the network they use. Keep your site, whmcs, dns and email somewhere else. Its something I've always thought was important.
Probably good to have a status page separate from your network and/or your website's network.
@VPSSLIM customers have a emergenxy maintenance on the double-vated-problem.

But... there are pros also!
If your ticket system goes down with major part of company you won't end with 258785 tickets to reply later. So much time saving!
So, double VAT? Gosh.
Hosted at another provider but all "secured" through cloudflare
At least CF's got HA with automatic failover.
Like the last time when their failover datacenter failed?
You probably wouldn't notice when their system worked...
Nothing is perfect, but it's better than a single point of failure. Microsoft goes offline more often than you can imagine. So does Google, facebook, or any other tech giant. Having backup plans in place is not to guarantee that'll always work, but not having one is guarantee it'll go down when sh*t happens.
PS: Not a cloudflare shill or affiliate.
Nice try, this is clearly just another psyop from Big CDN
I mean... 🤣
