Awknet Downtime
| Posted by Edward L, 11-17-2013, 01:23 PM |
Hi Guys,
Anyone else have downtime issues with Awknet? Their network seems to be going in/out... wondering what's going on, but no one in their IRC seems to be active on EFNet. |

Confirmed - All my servers are completely down. Coming up on about an hour now with zero connectivity. It appears their main site is also down right now. |
| Posted by zysfryar, 11-17-2013, 02:31 PM |
I'm impacted with a bunch of sites, 6 VPS, and a Shell all hosted there..
And as usual, NOTHING from awknet as to whats going on. |

Are they on any social network where you can contact them? |

I have the same deal here, seems like they might be having either a massive ddos attack ( which is unusual I only had one issue of downtime on my box where there ddos filter did not help due to the amount of traffic i.e exceeded the filter ) or other type of major issue ( power/network outage? ). Even if the support ticket system was up we all know it takes ages for a reply but at this point all we can do is leave a phone message (which I have)so its seems we are at a waiting game... |

Same =( assuming Justin is already on it? |
| Posted by mgrandy, 11-17-2013, 05:35 PM |
|
Heard from Justin and seems its a power outage. He's currently waiting on DWP. |
| Posted by JGoldman, 11-17-2013, 08:56 PM |
|
Still no word? |

I'm still wondering about what happened to the backup power generator. |

Are there any news? How is it possible that the breakdown will not be fixed? |
| Posted by Scott.Mc, 11-18-2013, 12:45 PM |
|
Been down for almost 24 hours now. |

We're a partner with awknet, was notified by one of the managers that the tornado's are affecting all servers. They apologise for the lack of communicate as internet and telephone lines are down. |

Not sure, I was just told that tornado's have brung the servers offline and they're working as hard as possible to resolve the issues. |

Wait so is it power issues or tornadoes? Last I heard no tornadoes hit L.A. seems like we are getting the run around here. |
| Posted by mgrandy, 11-18-2013, 05:11 PM |
|
Power issue according to Justin. |

I called Sunday and left a message I got no call back today. Will leave another message probably tonight would really like to know what is going on. Had just paid the next months bill hours before everything went down. Seriously starting to loose money at this point and not hearing anything is starting to become irritating. |

Any news about awknet? 48hours downtime.. |

Awknet Outage
We apologize to customers who are currently unable to access their sites
and servers hosted at Awknet. At 7am on Sunday morning there were a series
of power equipment failures. Staff from the Department of Water and Power
as well as a team of electricians are working to fully restore power at
this time, altho we do not currently have an exact ETA.
Please check back for more details. |

I believe just responds via text. I remember him having an email that sent an emergency text to his phone, of course that email wouldn't work but surely some have his number. |

Wednesday 10am update
Power from street running into building again. DC power back online, some AC circuits up, work continues. |

As of about 15 mins ago, 2 of our servers have come back up. |

Indeed my services have been restored. Its been rough but everything seems back up. |
| Posted by lwhite68, 11-20-2013, 07:51 PM |
my bnc on a Awknet server came back online at 5:20PM EST after been down for a few days =) been getting by with a bnc on a bluevm budget vps which has worked really great to cost less than a cup of coffee a day
reason for downtime in case anyone didnt know already...
"Awknet (Elmo/Apex) is still down. They say a transformer blew, generator failed and hopefully back up soon."
