Freedns Afraid.org Down? Any news?

Is anyone else suffering a total outage of afraid.org and freedns.afraid.org? All nameservers appear to be down, their site is down, and my domains are totally unresolvable. There was a hiccup yesterday, but today it's been down for at least half and hour. Is there an alternate site where I can find info on what's going on? Anyone have info? |

Some of my sites are down as well due to afraid.org |

They might be under a DDOS attack like we were earlier in the week, sadly. |

Are there alternative freedns services out there so I can spread mine out. I'm currently only using afraid.org and single points of failure are not good. |

Has been down for a few hours now. Even their new IPs aren't responding.
Hopefully it will be resolved soon. |

Seems to be back now.

What are you doing to stop it or slow it down? Appliances? Scripts? Both? |

http://gratisdns.dk however english translation of the service is not complete so you might need to use Google Translate or similar
Another alternative is http://quickdns.dk - Google Translate may be neccessary as well. |

Also, dns.he.net is a good one. |
