Randy cluster networking problems
We’re currently experiencing networking problems on our ‘randy’ cluster (check the Account Status on the right upper corner of your control panel to see if you’re affected by this outage - if your email server is listed as randy, you may be). This is affecting web, mail, and mysql connections as well. We’re looking into this, and will update you as soon as possible. Very sorry about the inconvenience.
Sorry for the delay in an update, the networking issue has been corrected and since this the web servers working normally again. We will continue to monitor the situation, but if you are still experiencing issues related to this please contact support with details.

Hmm. I’m on randy and my web services (which use mysql) are still up for the moment.

Wait: “may” be? Not “are”?

Randy is the email server and we don;’t have any issues with mail - however, Morgan is our website and that is screwed.

I’ve been having trouble accessing my sites at pound.dreamhost.com for at least 2-3h, way before this post. I hope it gets fixed, good luck guys.

Hi Guys — It’s now been many hours since I first reported problems. How about an update - as you promised in your announcement.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Hi - My website was down for a while, hosted in the server “spyro” (web server) and “blingy” (email server), but it is back now.
Thanks.

Hmm… don’t seem to have been affected by this - at least not that I’ve noticed.

i have been having trouble with my site which is on gradius. it’s been acting weird for the past 4+ hours. Anyone else notice any issues on non-randy clusters?
April 22nd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
My sites are on a different server not mentioned above and they are all affected…:-(

MySQL Server: ryoohki
Web Server: bowser

….. and my Account Tests says: “No Errors Found.” !!!!!!!

I do agree that updates are too infrequent for this site to be very useful.
If you’re not on Randy and experiencing issues, be sure to report them through the web panel and hopefully they’ll get it fixed up for you soon.

i am not on randy but I always get this error
Lost connection to MySQL server during query
Arrrrgh!! Recently, services of dreamhost sucks.. gone are the days when they provide great uptime with minimal errors/problems
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:08 am
THe problems seem to have at least slowed. Im sure they are just trying to make sure its all good before they say it is.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:00 am
This is just too frequent for me. Anyone else looking at migrating their sites elsewhere?
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:22 am
Web is ok just email is currently down. Go guys, Fix this soon!
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:38 am
I am not looking to migrate my sites anywhere else, but I hope this problem will be solved shortly.
Harware or software problems can happen anywhere.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:48 am
I’m having trouble with email on three domains, all hosted by spunky.
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:31 am
All is good!!! Thanks guys!

It could be worse… So much for Webmaster Appreciation Day. GoDaddy actually declared today, April 29th, the first annual Webmaster’s Appreciation Day - ahead of their “unscheduled network outtage.” So much for appreciation! Their whole network, DNS, Microsoft SQL Server farms, and everything else went DOWN for hours. But wait, it’s not over… Many, many businesses and individuals (Webmasters?) hosting their websites with GoDaddy were seriously out of luck - they too were off-line and unavailable. Pings timed out, n-maps failed, and FTP sessions failed authentications. Zillions of websites were simply unavailable… to take orders, serve support & information, and everything else we have come to take for granted - especially the Webmasters!
The real question is: What will GoDaddy do for their customers now? Will they credit them money or services? Will they even publicly apologize?
This is a huge opportunity for the world’s largest ICANN registrant and web hosting company to step up and make a difference. GoDaddy could choose to capitalize on this the right way. They could take advantage of the spotlight (they do like the spotlight re: SuperBowl Ads) and show what it means to appreciate a webmaster! Bob Parson’s is something of a legendary maverick, with his retired Marine Corp swagger. The next news cycle will tell. Comments and input in the blogspace will tell. Or… GoDaddy will simply say, “What outtage?”
