Afrihost having problems???

[OMB]

I don't seem to be able to connect to the Afrihost clientzone or website and none of my hosted email addresses seem to be working. Anyone else got problems?

 

[Sinbad]

clientzone seemed very slow to me, but I got in eventually. I thought it was a problem at work because quite a few websites are giving me trouble

We are experiencing network issues. Servers are up just not accessible. Engineers are attending to the problem right now.

Firewalls running at 95% & causing downtime. Moved to spare firewalls but no joy. Rebooting all now. Holding thumbs tight

The datacenter problem is affecting not only Afrihost clients. IS Engineers are working on the problem. Afrihost engineers assisting

 

[alkit]

Likewise. Authentication is failing on my side...

So it seems to be a IS problem

UPDATE: Seems like all IS Bryanston datacentres are down. All websites affected. Everybody working on it. Waiting for ETA @Afrihost

Update:

We were the problem not IS. Dedicated servers coming online now. Still working on Cloud & Shared hosting. ETA 20 min @afrihost

Weird update that one. How do you go from "all IS datacenters were down" to "er, it was us"... ?
I suspect IS legal department involvment!

HelloPeter:
Apologies. Hellopeter.com site down for 45 mins, together vwith over 12 000 other sites hosted by Afrihost. Now back up. Please test: www.hellopeter.com. HP

Ouch that's a bit bleak for Afrihost.. 17k followers on their FB page. Clientzone seems fine now for me

At least no-one could complain on HelloPeter about Afrihost while afrihost was down

 

[blunt]
