DynaDot Down
MicroGuy | March 1, 2009The well regarded domain registrar DynaDot.com is currently experiencing an extended site outage. Due to the length of the outgage (16 to 24 hours) there is growing speculation as to the cause. There are varying ideas ranging from anything to a DDOS attack to a planned maintenance outage. I seriously doubt this is a planned outage. There is an active thread on Namepros.com where other users are reporting as the situation evolves.

Just got off the phone with DynaDot. I knew they were probably busy, so I kept the conversation to a minimum.
Microguy: Hello, I’m just calling to ask a couple of questions. Basically, umm, what happened? and when will you be back online?
Dynadot: Basically it’s a hardware issue and we’re hoping to have service restored later tonight.
Microguy: Ok, well I’m sure you’re busy so I won’t keep you any longer. Thank you.
Dynadot: Ok, thank you.
The support guy seemed very subdued and tired, but had a confident tone.
