Their website won't load, our mails won't go through, the FTP to any hosted domain is slow, support isn't replying, but our ADSL is working.

Anyone else experiencing something similar with them this morning?
 
It's not just Afrihost, Hetzner as well.

A few of my domains on both are offline, it seems the MTN data center in JHB is offline....
 
Afrihost response: " Sorry guys the DC just blew up. It was a fun run. Guess we won't be getting the ISP of the year award this year, are we?"
 
Damn. Do they have any idea of how long it will take to get teh services back up?
 
Definitely MTN:

Yup theyre down. So glad I cancelled with them :D

Dont worry, they shafted me enough that they should be able to afford to build a new DC quickly :)
 
I just applied for a new adsl bundle this weekend and have been experiencing problems with new line conversion, their support is not responding today either. Hope Afrihost guy can shed some light...

Hi all

Really sorry about this :(
Our team are working on a fix for this, we hope to have the issues sorted out as soon as we can.

I'll have more feedback and info as soon as I get it.
 
Glad I never clicked the button for a business adsl account yesterday. Weird how things work out.
