Whoops. First downtime in 3 years.
I wouldn’t even fully consider it downtime since the server didn’t go down but it was inaccessible via domain names for a period of time today. I slipped up and let an important domain name expire today. It just so happened to be the domain name I used as the dns entries for all my other domain names. That means, at some point in time today, all 50+ of my domain names stopped resolving for a period of time. To make it slightly worse I just quickly changed the dns entries on almost all the domains I host so all of the domains are back up EXCEPT Zippy’s. I’m dating a girl who managers her own domain names. ^_^ As sexy as that is it kind of sucks right now since she is in Europe and won’t even realize the problem exists until she tries to resolve her website. Since this domain will probably be the second site she visits I’m going to make it easy on her.
I messed up the DNS server
If you have a domain hosted on my server, change your domains DNS entries to NS1.EV1SERVERS.NET & NS2.EV1SERVERS.NET and then email me and let me know what domain name you made that fix for. Sorry if this caused anyone any inconvenience.
the word was created for situations such as this, so I’ll use it.

Ha. I did go to VD.. then here. I’m so predictable. I will have to fix the DNS when I get home I guess…. or I’m in the airport with some time to kill on free wifi.. cuz the ‘net here is way too expensive to spend any time on and is too slow. etc. etc.
