Website down? - UPDATE - Working again

[northerntao]

Can’t reach the website, from the states at least. Anyone else?

[hollunderkurve]

just worked for me....

Fine here

[northerntao]

Refreshed again and it worked. Probably just a fluke.

No, seemed like some outage yesterday (email too) - changed host when the new site went up so I need to check what was up..

edit - just heard from the hosts - DDoS attack on them, but hopefully sorted now.

At the time of writing, I can't resolve bugbrand.co.uk. It's not just my nameservers, either, various public nameservers can't either, here's google's lookup:

https://dns.google/query?name=www.bugbr ... nssec=true

Result for www.bugbrand.co.uk/A with DNSSEC validation and with DNSSEC detail:

Code: Select all

{
  "Status": 2,
  "TC": false,
  "RD": true,
  "RA": true,
  "AD": false,
  "CD": false,
  "Question": [
    {
      "name": "www.bugbrand.co.uk.",
      "type": 1
    }
  ],
  "Additional": [],
  "Comment": "Resolution failure. Please check https://intodns.com/www.bugbrand.co.uk"
}

Looks like it's still happening...

ns0.unlimited.uk.net.
Server Timed out...
ns1.unlimited.uk.net.
Server Timed out...

So not bugbrand's fault, and probably no reason to panic- just some scumbags trying to shake down a hosting provider, probably for protection money. This too shall pass.

[BugBrand]

Yeah, they've had further issues it seems, though hopefully things are generally working.
(I know very little about the tech)

Also slightly unsure whether some email replies are going astray as I just heard from someone who said they'd not had a reply from me when I had replied!

[BugBrand]

Strange on the email front ---- webmaster showed me how to check delivery & saw that the email(s) that didn't arrive had certainly appeared to go through fine (ie. accepted by the receiving address). Argh, strangeness - makes me a bit worried!

Weirdly I tried that just now & it said the site WAS down...!

[northerntao]

Yes, currently down for me as well. Definitely looks like a DNS issue. DDOS or something
