Posted by YouBest, 07-23-2012, 11:09 PM
Unable to access their website and network, everyone else too?

It is down from my side too.

Confirmed it is offline on my end, I know they are in QuadraNet and they are not having any network issues, so it must be an issue isolated to there corporate web server

Confirmed the website and WHCMS down from my side. However my VPS is not down in NL.

Not loading still.....

I haven't heard of this provider before. Are they a popular/big company?

We are experiencing issues with our US VPS box. This is only affecting our US VPS customers and our websites. All of our colocation customers and VPS customers on our France and Netherlands servers are online. We are working as quickly as possible to get the issue resolved. I will post updates when we have news on the issue.

The server is now no longer booting up at all. We are having the Quadranet techs dereack the server to investigate what hardware might have gone bad, we believe it might be the motherboard. We will post another update when we have more information.

When I searched for centralhosts.net, I found some threads of WHT over different time (but all are of 2012) about its downtime:

They either have an outage or they jumped ship. It seems like a 1 server operation as there is only 1 nameserver (2 with the same IP):
Code:
ns1.centralhosts.net. ['66.55.76.125'] [TTL=172800] 
ns2.centralhosts.net. ['66.55.76.125'] [TTL=172800]


And that 1 nameserver is down (http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=66...+&c=&s=ping%21):

If that nameserver is also their webserver (looks like it is) then 1 server down means everything is down. I hope you have a recent backup!

Wow, stop making assumptions and assuming the worst...

There corporate website is down for a hardware failure. Nothing else. If they jumped ship they wouldn't take the time to clarify on WHT!

Actually companies have taken time to clarify on wht and then gone under before (typically from the issue being beyond their scope of experience). Either way they have the worst DNS setup you can have so best of luck to them.

Big difference between "Hardware failure" and "This site is suspended"

Posted by CentralHosts, 07-24-2012, 10:45 PM
Our server has been restored and everything is working again.

Posted by CentralHosts, 07-24-2012, 10:46 PM
Our server is back up and everything has been restored.

Do you now know what the issue was? Just out of curiosity.

At first the server seemed to be in a boot cycle, and would get booted half way then restart itself. After awhile the server stopped booting on period and that is when we had Quadranet derack the server and check things out. They were able to get it to boot back up but then it went into the reboot cycle. We had to wait awhile to get access to a kvm in order for us to investigate it more to see what might be going on. Xen seemed to be corrupt and we had to repair that. After that was done we were able to boot back up in the xen kernel and have the VMs load again. All in all we think it was a mixture of hardware might be getting lose and then causing xen to become corrupt. If anyone has any other questions or concerns please email us. Thanks
