Incident: Network infrastructure (Smart Servers) [Resolved]

Published on February 8, 2012 at 11:18 pm by iWebstaff in: Status
Update 09/02/2012 17:40 EST – The incident affecting our network network is now resolved. Note that a few servers are still experiencing connectivity issues. As these problems are not necessarily connected to the network outage we experienced, we must investigate them manually one by one. If you have already created a ticket, there is no need to create a new one, our sysadmins will give you an update directly. You can also followp on your ticket directly by replying to it by email.

To open a new ticket please use the “Server Unavailable” option in your customer hub (hub.iweb.com) so a sysadmin can follow up directly with you. When you create a ticket, it
currently will not be displayed in the customer hub. Do not worry, we have it in our system.The response time on the chat and on the phone is also back to more normal levels.

A more detailed technical update will also be published in the next 24-48h following our postmortem.

Thank you again for your patience and your understanding.


Update 2012-02-09 16:15 EST – Number of servers still affected is now down to less that 20. VLANs of affected servers had to be reconfigured and IP addressing had to be corrected on some servers. Next update at 17:00 EST


Update 2012-02-09 15:35 EST -We have made some progress as more affected servers are now accessible. We came down to about 150 servers still unreachable. Our network admins are still working on adjusting network configurations to provide our clients with a permanent solution. Next status update will be published at approx 16:15 EST.


Update 2012-02-09 14:45 EST – An emergency network maintenance is currently ongoing in order to apply new network configurations (http://blog.iweb.com/en/2012/02/maintenance-control-center-5/9797.html). We expect this will help alleviate the connectivity problems still affecting approximately 450 servers. Next status update will be published at 15:30EST .

ENES


Update 2012-02-09 12:20 EST- 90% of IP addressing and traffic on our NE datacenter (Smart Servers) are back to normal.

For those still having difficulties accessing their servers or websites, we advise you to perform the following actions in order to re-establish your services since they have been sucessfull with customers.

1. Determine if you can access your server via ssh

2. Perform a DNS query to reestablish ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

  • logon to server via ssh using public IP (do not use domain name)
  • attempt to ping any public website, such as google.com

3. Attempt to restart services and network

  • Restart any unresponsive services
  • then restart network by typing the following commands:

CentOS: service network restart OR /etc/init.d/network restart
Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/networking restart

If these actions are unsuccessful, please log a “server not working ” ticket in the customer hub, if you have not already created one.

When you create a ticket it will not show up in the customer hub at the moment. But do not worry we have it in our system. If you already created a ticket for the ongoing issue please do not create a new one.

We remind you that due to the greater amount of tickets to be treated, the response time on the chat and the phone is slower than normal.



Actualización 2012′02009 12:20 ET – El 90% de los IPS y del trafico sobre nuestro centro de datos NE (Servidores Smart) es devuelta a la normalidad.

Para aquellos que siguen teniendo dificultades al acceder a sus servidores u sitios web, aconsejamos que usted ejecute las siguientes acciónes para restaurar sus servicios, ya que esto ha sido exitoso para muchos clientes.

1. Determine si puede accesar a su servidor a travez de SSH.

2. Ejecute una demanda DNS para restablecer la ARP (Address Resolution Protocol- Protocolo de la resolución de direcciónes)

-contactese al servidor via ssh usando la IP publica (no use el nombre de dominio)
-intente hacer un ping a cualquier sitio web, por ejemplo google.com

3. Intente reiniciar los servicios de red en ejecutando el comando siguiente:
-Para un servidor CentOS: service network restart
-Para un servidor Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/networking restart

Si estas acciónes han fracazado, por favor haga un ticket “Servidor fuera de uso” via el Hub Cliente unicamente si usted todavia no ha creado uno.
Cuando usted cree el ticket, este no sera mostrado en el Hub Cliente por el momento. Usted no debe preocuparse, lo tenemos en nuestro sistema.

Si usted ya ha creado el ticket para este problema, por favor no cree nuevos tickets.

Le recordamos que debido a un gran numero de ticket que estan en espera de ser tratados, la respuesta al chat es mas lenta que de costumbre.

Update 2012-02-09 9:00 AM EST -We are currently investigating a problem with DNS resolving that affects some of our clients. Still no ETA. Thanks again for your patience.

Due to the greater amount of tickets to be treated, the response time on the chat and the phone is slower than normal.

Thank you for your patience.

Update 2012-02-09 8:00 AM EST - When you create a ticket it will not show up in the customer hub at the moment. But do not worry we have it in our system. If you already created a ticket for the ongoing issue please do not create a new one.

Update 2012-02-09 7:00 AM EST we are waiting for another update from our network team. Due to the greater amount of tickets to be treated, the response time on the chat and the phone is slower than normal.

Thank you for your patience.

Update 2012-02-09 5:00 AM EST: Networking issue is now stable in our datacenter.

If you still encounter issues on the server side please do the following:

restart all unresponsive services

ping your personalized NS (ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com) if your server is the DNS authority

then type commands:

CentOS: service network restart OR /etc/init.d/network restart

Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/networking restart

If it still do not work for you, we invite you to open a ticket in the “Server unreachable” section of your Customer Hub (hub.iweb.com) so a sysadmin can follow up directly with you.

Update 2012-02-09 4:10 AM EDT:Network team had to reboot several routers on NE datacenter. Some Smart Servers will be unavailable for a few minutes. Thank you for your patience.

Update 2012-02-09 3:30 AM EST: A minority of clients may still experience some connectivity issues. For those still having problems please mention your server ID on our live chat and an agent will do additional verifications.

Update 2012-02-09 2:50 AM EST: The Network is now fully functionnal and all services, except Ping, are up and running so you might temporailiy receive false positive monitoring alerts although all affected Smart Servers are now accessible.

Update 2012-02-09 1:25 AM EST: This incident is affecting a segment of our Smart Server network and all Classic servers are not being affected by this issue. Our network team is still working on the problem.

  2. I was down from 10:40pmEST … a full 20 mins before the start was posted… Nothing worse than an SMS while you’re sleeping and you can’t even do anything about it! Argh

  3. Mine too. i hope will be back soon

  4. Mine also started Down at 10:40PM.

  5. It’s the same to my website.
    Every think is down.

  6. I have the outage as between 22:36 EST and 22:38 EST.

  7. ditto :(

  8. yep got a nagios downtime email at 10:41, start time needs to be adjusted.

  9. Yes, 9:35PM CST is when it started.

  10. Yeah, just checked Pingdom, shows first outages started at 10:37 for mine… looks like this will be a long one if it’s not fixed already!

  11. Mine went down 10:43, everything is friggen down. Disappointing, first issue i’ve ever had with iWeb.

  12. Please indicate the approximate time of recovery

  13. Our external monitors pinged at 22:39/22:40. So its an easy round.

    iweb informed me the issue is related to a specific DC at least, but that doesnt help us lol.

  14. Desde hace 45 minutos no funciona al menos. Date/Time: Wed Feb 8 22:44:42 EST 2012

    Mando un ticket y aparece como cerrado.

  15. I use pingdom and it states my website went down at 9:49 pm CST

  16. All of my 3 servers are down, its almost 1 hour. So far no update, eagerly waiting.

    Thanks,

  17. Got it down at 10h52 here. I was going to go sleeping… grr! :(

  18. Anybody else having issues getting into https://cc.iweb.com/ ??

  19. Im still waiting

  20. 100 people expected to use their services
    by the fall of the server: S

  21. I agree not having an ETA when the support told me : we will get your server back up in no time… 1hour later nothing.. I think we do not have the same idea of what : no time is.

  22. Down as well since 10:41 EST

    There’s gotta be an update!

  23. Oh by the way for those wondering … they told me a switch blew up ..

  24. Jonathan H.: apparently a central network switch … hundreds of servers down right now

  25. Sounds like it’s DDoS, I get a lot of ICMP Blocked in my firewall!

  26. Yes, please update. I was also going to sleep…

    Second time in a year that i have problem with iweb… really disappointing.

  27. I expect a full, detailed explanation form iWeb on this case…good night /g/

  28. I love when client websites go down. This issue needs to be fixed within the next few hours or there’s going to be issues tomorrow morning with my clients not being able to send emails. I’ve got several businesses in the NYC area relying on this to be working correctly for a work day tomorrow morning.

    Night of coffee has started.

  29. I agree. Can we have at least ETA from you people?

  30. I thought iweb advertise near 100% uptime.

  31. 1 hour of downtime. Wow, incredible. We were in the middle of a product launch and we lost thousands of dollars. Fortunately their SLA policy will probably credit 0.10$ on my invoice.

  32. Don’t you have a 100% network up time Guarantee?

  33. hell yeah its up again good job guys :)))

  34. …and up again at 23:45 EST

  35. Don’t worry their ceo seems to be on holiday right now at Lac de l’epaule they say on twitter….

  36. and it’s back online! Thanks!

    Night Night! :)

  37. Running APF on my server and a bunch of RABHITs were logged, meaning my server saw what it believed to be a DDoS attack.

  38. Mine is also down for the past 55 minutes.

  39. finally back online !

  40. Where can I find a link describing the iWeb liability for this issue?

  41. Mine started at 2300
    how long will it take normally?

  42. Its 100% Guarantee but will give you 1 day credit for this downtime.

  43. Yeah, they guarantee 99.9% uptime… BS! They are always having issues! At least give us an ETA!

  44. on line woooooohhhhhh

  45. They are not giving a timeframe :-|

    iWeb.: we will be posting on article on the blog shortly regarding this situation.
    Sathyavrathan PK: will it take more time to fix?
    iWeb.: yes.
    Sathyavrathan PK: just give me an approximate timeframe
    Richard S.: situation should be back to normal shortly.

  46. Servers are UP!

  47. I am up and running now

  48. Mis dos servers yua estan UP

    State: UP

    But it’s still down ;-(( 23:53EST

  68. damn! back down!

  69. Whew… I was doing some new stuff on the server at the time… I thought I had done something :). Count your blessings! I am relieved, but saddened by the fact that I can’t access my server. Come on iWeb.. make me happy again!

  70. Error hub iweb is out……

    Proxy Error

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request GET /es/.

    Reason: Error reading from remote server

    Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at hub.iweb.com Port 443

  71. Most of my dropped packets come from 184.107.176.146
    as soon as they flick the switch on.

  72. was up…………. down again

  73. Our servers were indeed back up, but clearly are back down again. I hope you guys have found the fix and implement it soon. I have clients that will, no doubt, be quite irate come 7 or 8am EDT if they cannot reach their sites.

    Good luck! I’ll check in around 6am.

  74. i informed to my client about site up, mean while it was down again

  75. We are waiting, I talked to the chat and told me that everything was resolved, the site went live for a few seconds and fell again …

  76. wtf down again ….

  77. As the hub is down, just hope that longest night

  78. I just hope they wont play yoyo with my head like that all night long…

  79. ¿estan calentando los cables con encendeores o que? ¿les compro unos calentadores?

  80. I received note again saying the service is down
    What happen to 100% uptime?

  81. My sites on my dedicated server are all down and the system won’t allow me to do a trouble ticket….

  82. I think Google Apps will have new clients soon…

  83. Down!!!!! we need ETA right now…..

  84. @pancho villa LOL! Que desastre iweb!!!

  85. No se vuelvan comerciales como todos , si no fracasaran.. :S
    si piensan en vender solamente , seria fracaso rotundo xd

  86. que frustracion veo mi servidor desde el panel smart con la consola remota pero desde fuera no puedo acceder, son las 12 y ya tengo llamadas que noche más larga……

  87. 2 hours downtime, and my customers will wakeup soon..

  88. ¿En donde queda garantizado lo que textualmente dicen: “Nuestra red, nuestro orgullo”?

  89. @marcB google apps doesnt work if your server running your DNS is down.

  90. Server down innovacreativa.com

    Because of you I’m having problems with my clients, on their web chat does not respond, and when someone answers us the conversation short, very wrong with their service. And we do have to pay on time for a lousy service.

  91. sever still down….

  92. Me van a pagar el dinero de todos los clientes que voy a perder :(

  93. please fix this ASAP :(

  94. El problema es solo con los servidores smart veo que sitios con otro tipo de servidores estan online, vamos que pasa solucionen por favor……

  95. 2 hours now! GIVE US AN ETA!!!

  96. I was back online for a minute or two and now back down.

  97. I have 2 Smart Servers down and 1 running

  98. :(

  99. Why the iWeb not even updating the status? They have the responsibility to answer us

    is this what you call SUPPORT?

  100. Esto sucede cuando se vuelven muy comercial y no ven las contras, nosotros tenemos que sufrir por estas cosas, solucionen el problema inmediato, lo peor de todo que por el chat no responden, uno tiene que insistir para que respondan de mala ganas, eduquen a su equipo para responder de la mejor manera, tengo servidores en otras empresas y son mucho mas gentiles, al menos uno puede entender pero que te cierren el chat y no te brinden una solucion eso si es un dolor de cabeza. Ahora nuestros clientes tienen que sufrir y nosotros junto a ellos.

  101. an question for iWeb, can i send my customers requests for reimbursement to you?

  102. que onda con el servidor, llevo así desde hace 30 o 40 minutos, espero que se solucione por que no se ni que le paso solo dicen que un incidenete pero que tipo de incidente, alguien sabe que paso?

    that’s with the server, I have been so for 30 or 40 minutes, I hope it is resolved that you do not even say a single step incidenete but that type of incident, someone knows what happened?

  103. creo que alguien sera despedido el dia de mañana en IWEB, no te preocupes yo te doy chamba, nececito un taquero, “Tacos El WebMaster” ese sera mi nuevo negocio a partir de hoy, mis clientes me adoran me estan diciendo, que como mi servicio no hay 2

  104. iWeb, thank you for the update. I am sure that you are doing all you can to bring our servers back up as quickly as possible.

  105. O que irei falar para meus clientes? IWEB????

  106. @mary apparently they have an issue with a switch in that datacenter.

    Does anyone know about another dedicated server company providing better services?

  107. Anonymous Attack LOl

  108. my server is completely down
    unable to access any of domains, control panel, ssh……

    please fix it

  109. Ni se me molesten en llamar, simplemente no responden… Y para ser francos, al menos a mí el servidor smart me ha dado un $%!$!$ de problemas.

  110. this is getting ridiculous now. 90 mins now. 750 domains offline.

  111. is a network attack that you say???

  112. @Gerard,

    mine is running fine, when it’s online.

  113. @Gerard

    El mio tambien me ha dado un dolor de cabeza tras otro… si no es el server es el “smart layer”… siempre una excusa! y despues se dedican a largar opciones nuevas “cloud servers”… al menos solucionen los problemas que tienen primero!! y cumplan con el 100% uptime, esa mentira que dicen!

  114. My all 5 servers were down………………

  115. @pancho villa. A mi dame unos tacos de Anonymous con un poco de salsa DDOS por favor.

  116. someone has servers that are not that smart online?

  117. Dear brothers,

    I am currently DDoSing iweb because they overcharged me 5$ on my last bill.

    Your servers being down is acceptable collateral damage.

    WHERE IS YOUR SMART SERVER NOW?

    OH RIGHT, IT’S OFFLINE!

    Good luck.

    Sincerly,
    MagicJihad.

  118. Going for 2 hours of downtime..

  119. Hi Everyone,

    Please be advised that iWeb is doing everything possible to resolve this unfortunate situation. We apologize for all the issues caused by this incident and we thank you for your patience.

    We are aware that your acces to the iWeb website and to your control center maybe disrupted as there are a lot of requests comming in. We will post status updates as soon as we have more information about this incident and an ETA on resolution.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Dominic G.
    System Administrator at iWeb Technologies

  120. @MagicJihad LOL

  121. @Cesar,

    i have one smart online, two off

  122. Quiero trabajo en IWEB x.x porfavor

  123. @Dominic G

    Thanks for the update… However, an ETA is a must!!

  124. Creo que despues de esto van a quedarse con todos los servidores smart de oferta :)

  125. My servers are down too. The servers were very slow for several days. And now completely down. Are they over selling the $79 servers?

  126. @Dominic G
    Go make this record thinking as problem 2 hours away is a big problem

  127. I’d really like more frequent status updates from iweb

  128. Estimated time of resolution: N/A ??? WTF

  129. our servers are down as of 9:20 pm it is 12:29 am EST and they are still down!

    Any updates …???/

  130. please give us a elapsed time to see if i have to begin a migration process in another provinder or its another ddos attack

  131. Viernes!!!!!

  132. It’s a good thing nobody is using iweb for any real business applications.

  133. We need to tell our customers “when” it will be back online. And iWeb should refuse spontaneously anybody with the word jihad in its name… this is targeted to magicjihad

  134. Please update server uptime. Our two servers are down. Our clients have been complaining,

  135. llevamos mas de dos horas con este problema! En verdad que no existe servidor alguno en este planeta que no se llegue a caer? La mayoria de las personas que contratamos servidores dedicados tenemos un negocio que no se puede caer ni un minuto! Tendremos perdidas por culpa de estas caidas!!

  136. @Brian O.
    You mention that we’ll be all 1 day without service??? or poorly understood

  137. @Bouel that’s not funny. At all.

  138. @Dominic G.

    Thanks for the update.

    Our previous hosts (Server01) had an issue for 6 days and they flat out denied any issues (yes, our server was down for almost a week), so I appreciate the transparency from iWeb, and we hope you can resolve the issue soon.

  139. Sems up

  140. People – Brian O./Bouel is obviously a fake.

  141. What Friday 8 pm WTF

  142. 8pm friday is this a joke ? I hope so…

  143. Uno de los mios esta arriba… ahora

  144. this is a joke… 2 hours and counting .. is iWeb making a reimbursement to our bill ?

  145. Who will pay for my Business Loss? iWeb should have backup data center for the faulty region. Mine is still down…
    Please recover the servers… I’m waiting… :(

  146. UP

  147. DOWN (again)

  148. Estan locos si piensan que con un simple anuncio que el viernes estara en linea, solucionen ahora …

  149. Los dos.
    MIgrando ya. Transfer multiple accounts and bye

  150. UP Too

  151. 3:34AM here, can i sleep now?

  152. Arreglen el problema que esperan cuanto tiempo mas tenemos que estar con lo mismo?

    Deberia de sacar de su ventas los servidores smart solo causan problemas. Siempre tengo problemas desde hace mas de un año que me voy y me voy y por su tipo de facturacion me olvido de irme pero esta vez si me largo de aca.

  153. Is back online for me…

  154. WTF!!!!!!!!!!! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!! back down!!!!!

  155. lets all ask a refund this begin to be ridiculous in 12 years I never seen such a bad thing with nearly no ETA at all (we got one but for what its worth…)

    Brian O.

    what ?????? so you are going to sleep while our businesses is down ….!!!

  160. fRIDAY????Time to find a new hosting company. Any bright ideas?

  161. Sigo con mis dos servidores caidos

  162. Back for two minutes and went down again

  163. and down

  164. lets see… my consultancy fee is 120$ per hour… 2 hours lost … being late on my project… hmmm the $$ adds up quickly

  165. Hi Everyone,

    There is no employee of iWeb Technologies named Brian O. This post was not posted by an iWeb employee.

    Best regards,

  166. I really hope that the 8PM thing was from a non iweb personnel. Please confirm?

  167. The only ETA I saw was “N/A”

    Not my idea of an ETA

  168. brian o ….what re you saying?? tomorrow morning?? please explain??

  169. cody it seems to be a fake … however only iweb could confirm that…

  170. Iweb please confirm the time of solution ….

  171. por mas que busquen en algun momento pueden pasar problemas asi con cualquier empresa, mañana solicitan la compensacion y listo

  172. How come iWeb website is working. Maybe hosted with a some other reliable hosting solution. :-)

  173. De que sirve tener el nivel de mantenimiento en 5 si no contestan chat, tickets, llamadas.
    Tengo 5 servidores y todos estan down.
    Como piensan compensar a nosotros sus clientes?

  174. I think it’s pretty poor that the notifications are done through a BLOG and not through the customer hub where we have to log tickets.

    The lack of communication is dreadful.

    Still waiting for service to be restored

  175. #Occupy iWeb

  176. OMG brian o is a fake!!!!!

  177. Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… I had my servers at 1and1 and never had a problem for 2 years.. Move to iWeb a month ago and now my sites will be down until friday.. Thats alot of revenue lost for me..

    for the 100% uptime claims iweb should have a backup or spares of major components in stock and on hand…

    If it is not resolved by tomorrow I will be leaving iweb and going back to 1and1…

  178. Viernes? JA… Si no arreglan esto dentro de las proximas 2 horas, definitivamente me cambio de compañia. Ya les aguante mucho.

  179. well, Brian O./Bouel is a fake, but i think he’s telling the trust..

  180. Ojala que esto no este en los foros. :O

  181. Is everyone loosing as much money as i am by being down, not including the credits for down time hosting. This service interruption is not a good thing,

  182. Como es el tema de la compensación?
    Nos dan credito por las horas fuera de linea?
    Podrian decirme?

    As is the issue of compensation?
    We give credit for the hours off-line?
    They could tell me?

  183. lo del viernes es un fake :)

  184. I love how this phone message keeps informing me that the best and fastest way to get support is through the client area, the one that I obviously can’t access. :)

    @Nicolas – Thanks for the reply!

  185. Please remove a post from Bouel is a FAKE.

  186. ya veo a alexa mandandome al caño en mis estadisticas,,GRACIAS IWEB

  187. Arron I can confirm I am losing it too

  188. wow you people complain so much chill people its not like you are running twitter or something

  189. Iweb confirmen lo del viernes, necesito un reembolso y el acceso para sacar mi información si en la mañana el sistema no esta en linea voy a tener cientos de clientes reclamando

  190. @vache asatryan

    You’re correct in saying that most of us don’t run a website or database as big as twitter however you’re wrong is saying that this should be an issue in which we should chill. This is an important issue, considering morning is coming up in a few hours and it’s a business day. Many of us have clients in who need access to things such as email – let alone their website.

  191. Please remove the comment from Brian O. is one of the fake $ # $ # $%.

  192. Hi Everyone,

    There is no employee of iWeb Technologies named Brian O. All post posted by this person must be ignored. We are working towards a solution and it is progressing. Unfortunatly, we cannot give you all an ETA yet.

    Best regards,

    Dominic G.
    System Administrator at iWeb Technologies

  193. My clients are already complaining

  194. tengo muchos clientes reclamandome y me afecta un buen, a ver a que hora lo arreglan, pues que clase de tecnicos tienen, en donde estudiaron en TortugaSchool?

  195. what I cannot believe is that I went to iweb for “Canadian” hosting… and they put me in a NE datacenter without even notifying me about it until now… I feel like ive been frauded and now that downtime….

    Vache, a lot of people rely on iWeb “STABLE” services for their customers. Our customers are 100% e-commerce with over 10,000 products and a lot of sales sometimes in the millions, just imagine what it would be like if all of iweb was down like this ? And I am pretty sure I am not the only one affected by that.

    They should definitely have a backup solutions to guarantee their uptime. But even if they own a bunch of datacenters it seems no engineers thought about it.

  196. Vashe you obviosly do not have a large server I have multiple forums on 2 dedicated smart servers with over 100,0000 members combined….. well over a million page views per month. So it actually is a very a big deal to be down for a few days..

  197. Can anyone confirm if you can access your webservers via “VIRTUAL CONSOLE” on the control center?
    Because i can, i see load is 0.00

    Dont know if its my problem or Iweb.
    my server id is : NE-T023-170

    Can you tell me pls? thanks

  198. @Dominic G.

    Can you at least provide us with a clear explanation of what’s actually going on and what is being done to fix the issue? I think that a lot of us would just like the reassurance.

    Thanks.

  199. moving to 1and1 tomorrow. I’m sick of this!

  200. digan por favor esto cuanto tardara o es que no conocen su propia red que tienen medio centro de datos abajo, tengo un smart online y otro offline y lo berraco es que por lan se estan comunicando

  201. 3:47AM, two hours of downtime, about 600 websites down and i`m without email or ticket system..

  202. @Cody Colby – exactly correct.
    We have made committments to our clients based on the guarantees provided by our supplier.

    Many of my clients launched marketing campaigns over the last few days and they will be really upset about the lost opportunity

  203. My clients are from Spain and its morning already

  204. Nicolas – NE is the abbreviation for the data centre on Newman Blvd. in LaSalle, Quebec, Canada. You can see the abbreviations for all the data centres here: http://iweb.com/hosting-support

  205. Rav, en una hora comenzará a sonar el telefono….

  206. @Charly

    Do those commitments happen to include the 100% network up time right? We’ve done the same however this shows a lack of that 100% uptime on both iweb’s part and ours. Who do our clients go to in order to make their complaints heard? You guessed it. They see nothing about iweb, only downtime on our part. ;)

  207. Can anyone confirm if you can access your webservers via “VIRTUAL CONSOLE” on the control center?
    Because i can, i see load is 0.00

    Dont know if its my problem or Iweb.
    my server id is : NE-T023-170

    Can you tell me pls? thanks

  208. My clients (500 000) are from Germany and its morning already

  209. Here in Brazil now is 03:51 AM, soon my clients are trying to access the application and what I tell them iweb?

    I need sleep too, what do I do?

  210. Please update us on the progress, when the server will be back.

  211. Hello people

    My server still down. I´ve just told with Nick P. thru chat and he told me :

    Nick P.: all of ne is affected :(
    Nick P.: and no estimate of time right now to provide , realy sorry
    Fabian: but you say no time.. tomorrow ?
    Fabian: in few hours?
    Fabian: what happened ?
    Nick P.: few hours
    Nick P.: problem with a network switch

    Regards
    Fabian

  212. My site is currently up. I hope to see a full explanation once the issue is fully resolved.

    @Carlos, yes my server was accessible through virtual console during the outage.

  213. I can access my virtual console !

  214. É Luiz, a coisa ta preta!

  215. @Luiz Henrique

    I don’t think there is such thing as sleep. I had a design for a client that I promised to have finished tonight and well – tonight is ending in 5 minutes at my location. I can’t sleep until his design is done and now, I can’t even work on it. :)

  216. I’ve been client of iWeb for over 6 years and this is the first time I have an issue with them.
    Every time I’ve come to them with any issue, they have solved it in an acceptable response time.
    So, I’m sure they are doing they’re best effort to bring our servers back online.

    I have a smart server and a regular one. Regular is ok, Smart server is down.

  217. at least this blog is up to know the status :)

  218. Guys, your server is online but the network is down, thats why you can access it on the Virtual Console, since the LAN is on, but the WAN is off

  219. Nothing yet… I cannot even sleep, my phone keeps ringing the alerts that my websites are down and up, down and up, down and up, down and up, down and up, down and up… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    So I’m assuming next invoice will be for free… since they are not taking serious their 100% uptime BS!!!!

    Apoguy… is 1and1 better than this???

  220. ahh you guys are so cute, why would you remove my comment :(?

  221. a mi me quieren linchar en Mexico, mis clientes son muy educados y correctos, les voy a mandar la cuenta del hospital a Iweb.

  222. I am in australia and this happened during the peak hours of business here. In the last two hours my clients have not not stopped calling and asking for an explaination as to what happend to thier websites. Hope you guys fix it soon. I have told my clients 2-3 hours. They are very very upset. Some sort of an update as to what is happening and some sort of ETA would really be helpful. Thanks

  223. One of the servers are up. The other two are down.

  224. “A” network switch? As in one?

    Are there no redundant switches / networks??

  225. What’s the status? still down for me..

  226. @john I don’t know. Somebody here said it is…

    We are going for the third hour now. GREAT, this is just GREAT iweb!

  227. @Cody – those committments are based on the promises made by the supplier – absolutely. I’m not impressed by the lack of communication and updates from iWeb. It makes giving an honest answer VERY hard. One wonders just what had to wrong to take up what appears to be a relatively large segment of their network — particularly when redundancy is supposed to be in place.

  228. those smart servers arent so smart ehh
    i’m losing $300/hour here becuz of this downtime, i hope iweb give me the next 2 month for free or i will migrate to a more reliable host :

  229. @glb that’s what they said on the live chat like 2.30 hours ago

  230. mouse cut the network cable ? what happens….?

  231. Nicolas, NE is in Canada, it’s what they call the data center that’s about 10 minutes from where I live. Maybe I should drive over there and bring them a new switch? :)

    I don’t understand why it’s such downtime if all they need to do is swap out the switch???

  232. Guys at-least give us ETA because we have to answer our clients!

  233. Tres horas fuera y sigo sin poder dormir por favor actualicen como va la recuperación

  234. @Aiman Jalil Sarraf: Very black! problem we need to rest, I worked all day, and when I was preparing to sleep, at 1:00 am I find that everything is offline, would be better if I had not seen.

  235. The hub is also below does not answer the phone or chatting someone who lives in canada …..

    el hub tambien esta abajo no contestan el telefono ni el chat alguien que viva en canada…..

  236. whats with all the threats??? do you do that to your car company or dealer?? if you are actually going to move from iWeb for one downtime on a small portion of servers than you are pretty silly

  237. @Cody Colby also feel sorry for you, sorry for all of us.

  238. @Dominic Update Status Thanks

  239. Seriously is very unacceptable from you for don’t have a replacement part ,i have one server contain a community on it and my voice server and few game server and request a excuse from iweb for don’t have all material for repair any material network trouble

  240. @ilya p… LOL smart servers that are not that smart at all
    Those definitely lack of it…

    @Apoguy, I heard also that softlayer are better… any ideas?

  241. Status of 3 servers in iWeb from last 2.5 hours http://twitpic.com/8hibil

  242. The classic servers are running… only the smart servers network is down. Smart downtime.

  243. i guess for some people losing thousands of dollars and ur business partners trust is “silly”

  244. I’m already 12 cancellations by telephone. Loss to date 15 000 €. We are already designated as a fraud

  245. The “Estimated time of resolution: N/A” indicates there’s no hope of getting this fixed anytime soon.

  246. @Luiz, same here, i was just finishing an movie and – WTF, all servers down?!

    First off i got worry about rest, now im getting worried about the customers, since its 4AM and they will wake up soon

  247. This is my update…

    Proxy Error

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
    The proxy server could not handle the request GET /en/.

    Reason: Error reading from remote server

    Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at hub.iweb.com Port 443

  248. ilya p if you are looking for a 100% uptime service forever you should have a backup service setup, there is no way in the world that you can seriously tell me that you are loosing thousands of dollars and knowing you would loose thousands od dollars you do not have backup plans, thats silly

  249. Softlayer are best, but they don’t give much bandwidth. I just shifted to iWeb.com for 20TB bandwidth… but guys try to understand machines do fail. However iWeb should be more responsible from now…. they can’t even replace a switch in 3 hours :(

  250. Well, my servers are back up. Thank you. Still waiting on a clients servers to finish out my night load of work before I get to fall asleep. :) My coffee is getting cold – 3 more cups. :)

  251. a pero para cobrar, ahi si son bien puntuales.

  252. @John Softlayers are BETTER HAN IWEB but they so expensive service….

  253. @Aiman Jalil Sarraf , só agora vi que você é brasileiro? rs

  254. I just moved to semoweb.com better server thus far

  255. Hola ya arreglaron su kiosko :D ya no se si reirme o llorar…. van mas de dos horas.

  256. OMG!!!!…Lots of phone calls…Ringing my Phone……Website not open….

  257. Hello

    Virtual console.. OK.. but because LAN is OK.. the problem is WAN.
    The servers are OK. Here is 3:07 am.. i hope this fixed in few hours..

    I have 2 classic servers (ON) and 1 smart (DOWN)

    Regards
    Fabian

  258. @John I really don’t know about others. I’ve been with iweb for like 5 years now. And this isn’t the first issue. More like the 100th. Once I got like 3 month free for a similar downtime.

  259. Yet again iWeb can’t provide an ETA for resolving an outage…

  260. @Luiz, sim, por isso falei que a coisa tava preta, haha :P

  261. Some times it is working for few minutes and sometimes it is ofline. this needs to be fixed ASAP

  262. El “tiempo estimado de resolución: N / A” indica que no hay esperanza de que lo solucionen en el corto plazo.

  263. @Dominic G. how long will have a solution, and spent about two hours, why not update the blog, they are doing now to solve the problem?

  264. @mary… jmmm could be… but if you wanna get something with 100% uptime then I rather to pay a little bit more and have everything up and running and not interrupting my sleepy night… Damn I hate this!!!

    How is it possible that they cannot switch the switch????? And if they did already, do they know how to configure that? or they just plug that expecting to be configure by it self magically?

  265. Hoooo My GOd i want to cry

  266. @Aiman Jalil Sarraf to lhe seguindo no twitter.

  267. 1 – 2 – iweb viene por ti 3 – 4 me paso a softlayer 5 – 6 me contestan el chat 7 – 8 …..

  268. I lost $400-800 so far becuz of this downtime, way to go iweb

  269. @Ludwing
    I also want to cry

  270. @lol This is worst than freddy!!!!
    Yet they dont do their 100% uptime but they charge you ONTIME!!!!

  271. It’s down for 3 hours almost. I have $1000 orders missing……

  272. Lost over $240 of my advertising budget way to go.

  273. Jonathan B.: There is currently a network issue near the location of your server that makes that it can be possible that your server is not currently reachable. We do not have an ETA for a resolution, but we are working urgently to fix the issue since we understand the emergency to fix the problem.

    Jonathan B.: All updates will be posted in our blog, blog.iweb.com.

  274. Outages suck, but for those loosing 800+ in 2 hours, maybe you should be looking at some redundancy.

    After all if you are earning $400 an hour.. then that is plenty enough for a couple of racks around the place

    Kingsley

  275. ETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! GIVE US A DAMN ETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

  276. Vou durmir, não aguento mais esperar.
    I sleep, I can not stand to wait.
    Je dors, je ne peux pas supporter d’attendre.

  277. ssh works but if offline

  278. 1 – 2 servers up and flew | 3 – 4 it came back for more | 5 – 6 time for a fix | 7 -8 Stay up late | 9 – 10 servers gone again

    **Have to love nightmare on elm street.

  279. Thank You kingsley :)))) exactly my point, if you are actually making thousands of dollars per hour than maybe you should have hired a good IT advisor who would have told you to have multiple geolocations silly cow

  280. Unfortunately, I cannot provide to you that kind of information since our network team is still making verifications to make sure we will come to a resolution rapidly, but we cannot provide to you an ETA for the moment. If we are able to proceed one, we will post it in our blog.

  281. Estimated time of resolution: N/A >>>>>>This is where iWeb fails

    See this outage can be tolerated if you provide an ETA

  282. @Sathyavrathan PK Agree!

  283. I just wondering why my post comment here was erased, I only said “My smart server is down and a couple of minute online again after one minute then down again” :(

  284. Nick P.: Maximum I would say 5 hours and less

  285. our website was online for just 4-5 minutes and went down. More than 2 hours. It is unnerving

  286. Does anyone have any idea when it will be fixed?

  287. how do we run the business, if this is the case. we dont understand. please update us about the status

  288. Ours is down as well. and not knowing that this is a general network issue, just raised a ticket asking iweb to get my server online again. Any idea when this will be resolved?

  289. @krish it’s been down for 3.30 hours now. No ETA, nothing.

  290. I never received a noptification! I operate an active forum nd my members started text messaging me at 9:23 CST!

    Only smart servers affected, great upggrade. I hate my damn smart servers and am about ready to UPGRADE back to classics, or bail on IWEB altogether!

    And, lol for IWEB rep contact username!!! Seems like you REALLY care ab out your customers, don’t ou?

    LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!!!

    Talk about an insult!

  291. Those are not even IWEB the ability to estimate a solution to the problem window.

  292. No ETA? 4 hours, 5 hours ? God knows :)

  293. We are down 3 hours already. it’s crazy

  294. I HATE YOU IWEB!

  295. How long will this still take? its now about 2 hour downtime.

  296. 3 Damned hours, this is really great, and for ETA now they are updated the status to post a description in one hour, Great Job!!!

  297. We do not have an ETA to provide at this time and I apologize for that. We are now working with Cisco to speed things up a little.

  298. We are not a smart server customer and yet got affected!!!
    I no longer even see my server under the hub control panel!!!???

    ETA?

  299. Did anybody else understand lol’s last post, or was it absolute jibberish to the rest of you too?

  300. Thank you for the update iWeb. Please keep them coming a little faster. I think many of us here are just tired and nervous and really need reassurance.

    Thanks.

  301. @chefsc Please, speed my refound, so i can pay back my customers..

    Regards.

  302. Our website is down and its so crucial for us to get it back ..There is no proper way to access the support and the response is so slow .. what kinda service is this !!

  303. Thank you chefsc for the update…

  304. chefsc my prayers are with you :) and tell Cisco they should pay up since they are doing so well financially

  305. Our two smart servers went down. And its already 3 Hours of downtime. This is unacceptable, hundreds of our clients had complaining because of that dOwntime…

  306. it sure takes a long of time for iweb to replace a cisco switch

  307. Yeah, I got an email from a very legit U.S. company promising to match any offer from any other company , and it just may be time to put them to the test!

    VERY UNACCEPTABLE!

  308. chefsc it needs to speed up more than a little this is really a critical issue not even major … its red alert, emergency !! And sorry yes now I know NE is in Quebec. But holy cow why no redundancy ? All switches are dead or what ??

  309. A big company such as iWeb must have some fail safe protocol when issue like this happen. as of now we the clients are falling from the sky without a parachute.

  310. my all Smart Servers are unreachable from last 3 Hours. God knows at what time they will start working. Clients are killing me because of unexpected down…

  311. thank you for deleting my comment, I will start migrating to a cloud based service tomorrow
    goodbye iweb

  312. Are you deleting our comments critizicing your poor service? It seems you do. Shame on you!!!

  313. So, are you deleting our comments critizicing your poor service? It seems you do. Shame on you!!!

  314. ilya p … let us know which service :) I would love to follow you but I dont even have access to my data ;)

  315. I do not want to mention other company names, but we all know that some of the biggest players offer cloud hosting

  316. iweb deleted my comment when i said how much money i lost so far because of this downtime btw.
    censorship ftl

  317. It was much much worse with hostican, fwiw. One time my servers there were down for 2 days, and there was almost no way to contact them.

    Just hope service is up before the open tomorrow

  318. i follow to

  319. Continues:

    Me: no answer?
    Richard S.: some customers are able to access the customer hub right now.
    Me: that’s right, some
    Me: how come you don’t have replacements? or redundancy?
    Me: aren’t you the big company you claim? no such big company will have this kind of issue for 4 hours!
    Richard S.: rest assured everyhthing possible is being done right now to get the situation back to normal as fast as possible.

  320. 3hrs+ down time..unacceptable….

  321. I can’t imagine they are concerned with deleting posts. More likely their comment system isn’t keeping up.

  322. 4 years with IWEB now, and in the last year or so they’ve just kept getting steadily worse!

    Looks like this might just be the right time to give my business back to The Planet! Or what’s left of my business after this fiasco!

    Great way to take care of your loyal customers IWEB! Huge thumbs down!

  323. AND, he closed the chat!

  324. Our site has been down for over 3 hours and its morning time here. This is the highest traffic time for us and thanks to iWeb we are losing revenue on a per second basis.

    This is the second incident since I got hosting with them.

    Looking into alternatives now.

  325. rest assured is their reps’ moto now

  326. very bad my all services are down ….

  327. any update more how much time shall be back to normal. clients are worrying a lot to us.

  328. why excuse me but I CANNOT rest while i’m losing money by the hour

  329. Nathan, they deleted my post.
    I saw it and then it was GONE

  330. any updates

  331. in communist USSR the web hosts you!

  332. Yup, they are deleting comments. All their staff in the “office” cannot do anything as they aren’t in that datacenter. Instead of providing updates they are covering their a***s

  333. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ asi me siento cada que doy refresh

  334. IWeb whats going on? its really UNACCEPTABLE! If you could give us the ETA, then I think we could calm down!

  335. any time frame???? my all clients wants the timeframe.. pls provide us so atleast we can update them by when it will be up!!!

    thanks

  336. Another iWeb rep update request.

  337. My 2 comments were missing I thought that was accidental, but NO

    I will also go with cloud based service for one of my 3 servers, you can count on it, for us our business is critical.
    what a poor poor service iWeb

  338. they dont even bother to answer outage tickets, i filed mine 3 hours ago. no reply.

  339. RT “Our site has been down for over 3 hours and its morning time here. This is the highest traffic time for us and thanks to iWeb we are losing revenue on a per second basis.
    This is the second incident since I got hosting with them.
    Looking into alternatives now”

  340. iweb.com works fine though. I have to wonder how long the outage would have lasted if it was their sit that was down.

    I bet it would have been far less than the 3 1/2 hours everyone else’s servers have been down now!

  341. you do realize that this is a wordpress site right, and comments are probably managed by an auto filter
    Sathyavrathan PK you have said plenty of stuff and they have not been deleted so i would not think there is a person deleting stuff

  342. My service was be fana from kalle sob sa at 8:0 akhe too roohetoon ba in servicetoon.

    The best regards with foshaye khafans.

  343. 5AM, 3 hours of downtime and counting..

  344. me shut doun

  345. @Mark their site never goes down. While ours go down every month, at least for some minutes.

  346. vache you just licking some behind
    straight up

  347. Yeah, the are deleting. I did a post and, half a minute later, it was gone. No coincidence

  348. but Vache says they arent, and he says theyre the best host in the whole wide world!!

  349. I guess he’s full of something

  350. ok how about you repost it lol its called back button than click submit again, or just copy before you submit

  351. I LOST OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS SO FAR BECAUSE OF THIS OUTAGE
    MY BUSINESS PARTNERS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES ARE TELLING ME TO MIGRATE TO CLOUD TOMORROW
    (if I can access my data)

  352. looks like no body is working on these issues at iweb or iweb.com

  353. Apoguy, think about what that says! We’re nothing but $ signs to them, while their website is what generates our $ signs.

    I had classic servers that NEVER went down in 3 years, my smart servers require rebooting at least every other week now.

    And Tech Support is almost worthless these days. It took them over a week to CORRECTLY configure the reverse DNS on a new server I leased

  354. Arron I can confirm I am losing too

  355. how many iweb techies does it take to replace a cisco switch?

  356. none, becuz they aren’t doing it!

  357. Quite crazy that they won’t update us anymore. Hopefully this means they’re all busy working on the issue!

  358. they’re all busy getting their beauty sleeps, while we sit on needles

  359. All of them, and that’s still not enough. Other companies probably 1 person and 10 minutes!

  360. We are still actively working on the problem and are doing everything we can to put servers back online as fast as possible.

  361. We can start to pray now?

  362. @ilya p: Just so you know, no comments are being deleted and your comment must have been catched by the spam filter.

  363. Unlucky ‘everything’ is not enough

  364. fast is a relative term

  365. Activley working on replacing a switch for 4 hours? Sorry I dont buy it!

  366. Well, I sure hope there’s a damn good reason for this.

    My suggestions for those losing lots of money:

    - Move to a cloud solution asap, lots can deploy instantly
    - Set up for redundancy in the future

    If that’s not possible, try not to lose your mind. There’s not much anyone can do from our end…

  367. 3 hours 50 minutes – we are losing all our controls- 150+ critical customer websites from different regions & 100+ development websites…all down.. I am unable count the loss occurs to us at this time…. USDs per seconds.

    @vache asatryan – May be you are right

  368. thanks for clearing that up chef

  369. all iweb team are seems to sleeping….

  370. just so you know, my company (which I own) is going to exhibit @ ad:tech.
    internet marketing is a small industry, and getting a bad name is quite easy

  371. Neither do I!

  372. I am not even mentioning the 5 hours down time that was caused by iweb techies a few weeks ago when they rebooted one of my servers while I was sleeping

  373. The person in live chat told me that he doesn’t know what the problem is. (Then he added a sorry at the end.) I think that we deserve some communication on the issue with our servers.

  374. May be they are sleeping as we are chatting here

  375. please give u how status update. we need to know it badly!

  376. I demand that you give us specific details of what’s happening!

  377. The iWeb guys must hide something, since they deleted my comments more times.

  378. it’s been over an hour. Need update, need ETA! What kind of hosting firm does this?

  379. I have been patient so far, but I think this unplanned outage will be the straw that’s gonna break the camels back

  380. True, it has been nearly 4 hours of downtime for my 120+ clients’ websites and email.

    But I’m going to attempt to focus my energy on a positive outcome. I feel like it will all be fine soon.

    I must say that iWeb has been reliable for the entire year I’ve been with them, although there was one other time when our servers were down.

    Here’s to hoping that things will turn around quickly…

    Keeping positive,
    -RC

  381. @RC

    I am feeling the same way to an extent. I just wish we could at least be updated, you know what I mean? Reassurance of that.

  382. I agree 100% with Nathan.

    We can´t do anything at our end. i think all of us are mad with this.. and our business can be affected, etc.
    But, everyone that works in internet knows this things can happens.. we must to trust they are working on it to fix it asap. Is not good for Iweb neither this situation…

    Some updates could be good :)

    Regards
    Fabian

  383. We who work in the internet know how important redundancy is, which in this case seems like a non-existent feature to ask for.

  384. Well, the latest update that was 1:10 ago was just a lie to calm us down. WHERE IS OUR DAMN UPDATE?

  385. @rc: Thanks for the positive thoughts.

  386. Our network / IT team is on-site and working to bring the network back for all clients affected. We are aware that the downtime is exceeding expectations and we apologize for that . Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

  387. i think they are not working on issue . may be they are waiting for sysadmin

  388. Can we please get an update along with your thanks for positive thoughts? You’d get a lot of positive thoughts if you’d let us know the truth about this issue.

  389. sabemos que estan trabajando, pero exijimos detalles ESPECIFICOS de que esta sucediendo por favor, digan si requerimos de cerrar los ojos un poco o si tendremos que tomarnos varias jarras de cafe.

  390. This is simply CRAZY… I have 3 Smart servers, sites with over 3mill views a month and ongoing income that is lost… what the heck and no eta? Really?

  391. @chaudhry

    I wish they could at least tell us that so we know! :P

  392. One of mine UP

  393. i am really upset

  394. Was about to order 2-3 more to keep up with growth and traffic… think I might look for a new host though if there is not a strong explanation and assurances that steps are being taken to prevent this in future

  395. my server is back up, i hope it stays up this time!!!!

  396. i have host my server from last 6 years every time there is no one avaliable for looking the issues.

  397. my classic servers are up but smart servers are down

  398. My smart servers are up

  399. Please update the status……..

  400. if my main servers are down then i will ……..

  401. @Daniel :

    One of your servers are up now ? smart server in NE ?

  402. Our smart 1 is now up but the other one is not yet! hope both are now back to normal…

  403. Thanks iweb team… our server is up, and all the services are running OK….

  404. Mine still down since 1 AM… soon for 5 hours…

  405. It’s all my fault.

    Sorry guys.

    I just upgraded my Pentium 2 from a 28.8K dial up modem to a 56K and I’m pretty sure I crashed the server.

    Here was the latest report from my command prompt:

    ?> loading memory… 64KB OK
    ?> initializing storage… 20MB OK
    ?> load a:/spaceinvaders.exe
    ?> run

    Again, I apologize for any inconveniences I may have caused. I think 56K is waaaaaay too much for the server to handle right now, so I’m just going to revert to the fax machine for all my business needs from this point forward.

    If that doesn’t work, then smoke signals should prove themselves valuable. Especially for e-commerce.

    Sincerely,
    Dr. Sarcastic Edmonston III, Jr.

  406. I received this message for the 5th time:
    ***** Nagios *****

    Notification Type: PROBLEM
    Host: xxxxxxxx
    State: DOWN
    Address: xxxxxxx
    Info: FPING CRITICAL – 184.107.209.202 (loss=100% )

    Date/Time: Thu Feb 9 02:45:19 EST 2012

  407. My servers been up – I’m just waiting on a design clients servers to be up so I can finish his design tonight as promised! (now morning) — chicken fried rice on the skillet and coffee in hand. Been up this long with the issue might as well hang out for the extent. :)

  408. its up………. how much time?

  409. i dont have 2 servers down anymore, now i have 3..

  410. my server is Up now chk your’s

  411. Esperando por el otro… Transfiriendo sitios del que ya esta arriba a otro proveedor

  412. Who will pay for my loss? iweb I need an answer from you….

  413. This just came:

    Tonight at 10:30 We had a major network outage on our distribution
    switch on the NE datacenter. Therefore all the servers with their ID
    starting by NE are now unreachable.

    We took immediate measures to solve this situation as soon as possible.
    We are working hard on retablishing the connectivity asap.

    Thank you very much for your comprehension and patience.

  414. Mi segundo Smart ya está arriba, y running out

  415. Some sites are up, some aren’t for me. All hosted on Smart servers….

  416. We have 2 smarts servers online of 4.

    We have hop about this and the server will be back online soon.

    TY iweb for the help, any day, any time.

    TY

  417. I hate you guys with servers up :)

  418. Just now I know all my server is down. They didn’t inform about this via email.

  419. Who will pay for my loss?

  420. according to what i see via Virtual Console, some sites on my server are opening. I think its a location issue, cuz here nothing opens :)

  421. will iweb refund us?

  422. Mine is up now

  423. My server is still down its been more then 12 hours.. please fix this issue soon guys….

  424. one server up other 4 down still……………..

  425. 6AM, 4 Hours of downtime, and customers starting to ask for hes data files to change for other business

  426. I thought that by outsourcing we will have peace a of mind. And iWeb’s data center implements fault tolerance in its infrastructure. This should not be happening if it is true.

    The network is down for more than 4 hours. Is this what you call ROCK SOLID RELIABILITY for Smart Server???

    And there is no ETA!!! Who now NEEDS AN EXPERT ADVICE???

  427. I’m inside the virtual console. external/internal traffic still not available for my box. Hope the issue can be resolved the soonest.

  428. @EdP EXCELLENT

  429. Our two smart servers are starting with NE, but 1 is up another one still down

  430. At least in the update they’re saying a description of all this within the hour! First time frame for anything!

  431. Guys, I believe I’m probably going to have my attorney file a class action lawsuit against IWEB if this issue is not fixed in the next 30 minutes. Tjhis is clear and willful negligence in not reapairing the issue ASAP and I don’t care what their terms of service or disclaimers state, at this point THEY ARE LIABLE!

    If you want to be included email me at: iwebsuit@gmail.com

  432. Bad, very bad… been down all day…….. Busiest time of the year this month and word will spread…. Guarantee I’ll lose customers from this

  433. RT Mark:

    If you want to be included email me at: iwebsuit@gmail.com

  434. I’m sorry, did you marked this issue as RESOLVED???????

  435. You are not up and running! my website doesn’t work!

  436. I go for a coffe cup and pry to God.

  437. “Web guarantees 100% network uptime for all subscribers of a solution which includes a network connection. During one month, a complete network outages shall never occur. If a network outage should happen, iWeb will compensate its clients with a credit equivalent to one day of service for the first 15 minutes of unavailability and a credit of one day of service for each of the following hours. The credit can be claimed up to the monthly amount paid for the service. Unavailability is defined by failed PING commands to the IP address of the server hosting your web site. This unavailability must be directly caused by problems in the connection linking iWeb Technologies Inc. to the Internet and must be verifiable from multiple external Internet hosts.”

    So what do we get? 5 days of service so far? That’s terrible.

  438. “Update 2012-02-09 2:50 AM EDT: The Network is now fully functionnal and all services, except Ping, are up and running so you might temporailiy receive false positive monitoring alerts although all affected Smart Servers are now accessible. The Our network team will investigate the problem and we should be able to post a more complete description of the incident later on today.”

    WHAT????

    My server is still down!!!

  439. Well, ONE site on my server is accessible. The rest are not.

  440. WTF IS HAPPENING? THIS IS NOT RESOLVED, ARE YOU JOKING?!

  441. Our server is still not up, not just pings can;t ssh in nor access web pages.

  442. Very bad news again :( 3rd time down again

  443. NOW I WILL JOIN ON THIS:

  447. Really now? MY SERVER are still dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THINK AGAIN IWEB!!!

    Or is it just that my threat of a lwasuit promtpted you to lie?

    GRAT EVIDENCE OF DEEITFUL BUSINESS PRACTICES THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  448. My server is still down

  449. server vise-able but doesn’t not work

  450. btw guys, Ive heard good things about vps.net – I have a couple more sites coming online and was going to get another 2-3 smart servers from iweb to load balance, but maybe this is better, heard great things: http://vps.net/product/cloud-servers/

  451. Still down!!!! Come on!!!!!!

  452. still not resolved

  453. server still down!

  454. Hi,

    6 of our smart servers are still down we have tried whm / ssh / web but 6 of our servers are still not working.

  455. very bad server i hate iweb server

  456. Same here on the down time.

    @aiman Jalil Sarraf, unfortantly you cant sue iWeb. The second you agreeded to there terms the only thing they are liable for is upholding the SLA

  457. Still down and nothing is working

  458. Server UP!!!! I WANNA CRY!

  459. My server is still unreachable at all. Please resolve soon!

  460. my site is already running…thanks a bunch iweb team…:)

  461. None of my sites on the server are resolving and I cannot access even via IP addresses directly, and how come you can say “All services are up and running”. However I can access my CPanel. Strange

  462. Still down, it is not resolved. What is going on???

  463. I am still down! Tech says no ETA. Going to be one interesting morning for me. The promise of 100% uptime is not valid with iWeb anymore!

  464. Mine has been up, then down, then up, then down … yo-yo springs to mind

  465. iweb m asking 4 u my lose 5000$ ans me wht u do now sad

  466. Still get difficult connection on our servers !!
    Why something like this should happened.
    We want answers…ASAP.

  467. @jUSTIN, wrong! willful negligence negates claims of non liability! At this point IWEB has shown negligence in stating the issue and not repairing it in a timely fashion!

  468. My server is still down. Please resolve

  469. some of my sites work, some dont. what could this be? lol.

  470. Might I add to an issue that still seems not to be working for me?

  471. Thanks for your patience everybody! Iam told that the situation is under control but that a minority of clients may still experience connectivity issues. Please let us know if it is ok from your side.

  472. No se resuelven las dns

  473. @Justin B.

    We gonna see, since when iWeb fails with:
    - no respect for their customers
    - set a problem as solved knowing that has not been resolved
    - have no preparation for possible problems
    - does not guarantee redundancy
    - LIE ensuring that it can not meet

  474. For those still having problems please mention your server ID on our live chat and an agent will do specific verifications

  475. @Stéphane Jose NE-T006-460 still down

  476. My server’s main IP address is accessible. The others are not.

  477. @stephane my server is still down please check and bring it up

  480. Hi Stéphane Jose .
    My websites sometime opens, sometime not. Domains under the same domain open, some not.
    I think there is a DNS issue or something
    I am from Portugal

  481. Aiman Jalil Sarraf status is not set to solved but a majority of servers is now accessible. What is your server ID?

  482. @Stéphane Jose

    What clients are up?

    And you say a minority are down…

    This is the same POOR response types you gave when your network was down last year from the fire.

    Responses like yours are false and unprofessional.

    IS ANYONE UP NOW – WE ARE NOT AND NEITHER ARE 4 OTHER iWEB CLIENTS i AM CHATTING WITH NOW?

  483. @Stephane until all sites on servers are operational, I do not consider the issue resolved. So far out of 6 or 7 sites tested, only 1 is responding. Very, very poor.

  484. My server NE-T008-400 is still down!!!

  485. @Stéphane Jose NE-T104-050 still down

  486. @Stephane

    Down. Can login through virtual terminal.
    Cannot ping google.com from the server

  509. Minority down my ass.

  510. You know, I don’t think anyone’s server is up correctly. Perhaps we should all stop posting our id’s :P

  511. same here main server ip is accesible (i can enter whm) other ips not which including dns so my websites are still down

  512. Seems like another lie from IWEB! Is anybodys server(s) up and running?

  513. NE-T038-380 – not working

  514. NE-T008-400 is full inaccessible

  515. As mentionned in the blog post Ping has been temporaily deactivated so do not ping your server to test if it is up. Alternatively you can do a portscan (nmap) to test all other port or services on your server.

  516. only ssh works on NE-T023-170

  517. only ssh works on NE-T023-170
    Nothing opens via browser….

  518. FYI: @Cody Cody – @ Stéphane Jose requested the “minority” of those still down to post your server ID.

  519. @Stéphane . Nothing works here, only SSH works. Sites wont open: NE-T023-170

  520. NE-T073-340 is still down…. not holding my breath as I personally know of 8 other iweb clients who are still down as well that I am chatting with now over skype.

  521. I’ve received some mail from my servers, but DNS and HTTP are still failing.

  522. @Stéphane Jose NE-T006-460 is not accessible via SSH nor http, not using pings to ascertain wheter its up or not.

  523. Live Chat is not responding….

  583. Well, i’m done with iWeb, i will sue this S**T, no one cares about you and your customers, we need to cry for attention to get problem solved by ONE guy.

  584. did you guys replace the cisco with a rosewill switch? cuz it’s sure not behaving well

  585. NE-T046-250 was working but again down now!

  615. my server: host.pe-lindstrom-104586.tmp is still unreachable.

    btw.. since i don’t think iWeb understands “reliability” this would mean if this is your only outage this year; you can’t achieve 4 9’s reliability and you are quickly slipping below 3 9’s

  616. Dear iWeb;

    Every time you post an almost meaningless update, a unicorn dies. hope that “few minutes” doesn’t translate to hours…

  617. I have two servers with iWeb.. Probably very far from each others : both are still TOTALLY down
    NE-T037-150
    NE-T112-030

  618. Server are down again….
    Nobody supporting on Chat……i don’t know what the hell is happening.

  640. Patience, all will be ok. We have some years with iweb with out problems. This is the first…

  641. NE-T080-190 still down. :(

  642. By the way if i was same situation as @Charly or other ppl spending on ADS or doing luanch. I would be crazy and furious.

  643. From 3 IP’s only one is working, what is going on???? on the phone or chat nobody answers, is anybody there trying to fix this!??!

  644. it will be okey if you didn’t lose large business during this outage, we did

  645. NE-T038-380 (only 1 ip is working which is actually the dormant) the main IP is down

  646. whats up with fixing the secondary ip routng?

  647. I love your comment Özgür Akman. i wonder how many Unicorns have died already since our servers has been down??

  648. @ Oscar Navarro Go Easy Oscar about patience… last year when there was fire near the data center it took 22 hours for our servers to come back up.

    For many in this chat it is day time… try telling your clients patience.

  649. Please do not forget about our server NE-T005-120 is down

  650. back to linode i go…

  651. What the hell is happening. I can’t believe it!!!

  652. @ThamDai

    It’s a work week. Many of our clients can’t wait 22hrs or close to that.

  653. NE-T013-120

    STILL NO SECONDARY IP’s ROUTING
    PLZ HELP ****WEB

  654. Server still down… Hurry up guys… It cost us money to both.

  655. I’m Softlayer reseller with 10% off discount and I rejected their cool offer because I wanted to migrate to iWeb. Seriously worst decision of my life. It’s better to pay $100 more to good hosting company keep your reputation secure.!

  656. NE-T006-080. Still down

  657. Server Down after you have resolved the issue – NE-T024-290

  658. Bilal speaker of truths

  659. NE-T073-100

  660. lost my patience after waiting for hours, if its not fixed within few hours, i wil be back to 1and1

  661. Our business is almost ruined

  662. I’ve managet to reach live chat, explained the problem, got a brief reply; “wait a moment”

    @Gary our losses are severe. :)

  663. Thanks for your understanding Oscar! We understand this kind of situation is unpleasant.

    Chat and phone support is having a higher level of calls, hence the delay.

    All I can say for now is that the network team is hard at work addressing the problem. Please be patient.

  664. this is gonna cost ****web more than its gonna cost me

  665. NE-T001-070
    NE-T069-240

    DOWN AGAIN….

  666. ANOTHER LIE FROM STEPHANE!!!

    A few minute has now come and gone some time ago,, and we arre all still down!!@!!

    STOP THE GODDAMN LIES AND GET SOMEBODY TO STEP IN HERE AND BE HONEST WITH US.

    YOU’VE LOST ALL CREDIBILITY HERE AND HAVE FED US ONE LIE AFTER ANOTHER STAPHANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  667. ?éo ?? ???c cái b?n kh?m l?n này. Tao là qu? t? mà tao còn ph?i s? chúng mày ?ó

  668. @ Cody Cody I agree I’m in Thailand and it is 16:42 in the afternoon here… killing me… as i said earlier wait until you try to get the guarantee discount added to your account billing. Its as if they are doing you a favor…

    If its a grind this time – well….

  669. Deo do duoc cai bon kham lon nay. Tao la QUA TA ma tao con phai so chung may do

  670. Stephane, you said that the routers are almost done rebooting, did they finish?

  671. I mean it’s 2012 how long does it take to reboot a router? 5 hours?

  672. roberto: only domain in primary ip

    roberto: domains in dedicated ip not working

    roberto: http://www.tiendaporcelana.es is an example

    Jonathan B.: The website seems now to be reachable.

    Jonathan B.: Is there anything else I can do for you today?

    roberto: its not working for me

    roberto: now yes

    roberto: everything works now or it will be some issues?

    Jonathan B.: We are monitoring to make sure that all will be correcgt.

  673. 4:10 a few minutes – its now 4:35 — so what is exactly a few mean to iWeb?

    NE-T036-030 STILL DOWN

  674. NE-T081-230 in down for 5 hours :(

  675. lol @Henry, 1and1…really? they are THE worst. This is 1st outage with iWeb, but these things do happen..

  676. You are lucky Roberto, nothing working here

  677. Thats funny uh, cPanel on, WHM on, Webmail on, HTTP off, HTTPS off, SSH off, SMTP/Pop off, DNS off

  678. this is what they said, but everything is working very slooooooowly

  679. WHERE ARE MY SECONDARY IPS????

  680. yep. pretty annoying. The secondary IP issues has a direct impact on our nameservers. No client sites work even if 2 of our 3 servers are online. NE-T024-290 is down. Nameservers on secondary IP’s are also down. its a bust.

  681. @ RYAN – Google iWeb outages and you will see your statement is off…

  682. How can being down for 7 hours “Ruin” a business?

    I have a backup incase our main service goes down. If your service is important to you and this downtime could loose you your business shouldnt you have a back up?

    I mean.. It still doesnt get iWeb off the hook for taking this long but having contingencie options is a must in eCommerce.

    Complaining also doesnt get the service fixed faster. It just disheartens the people trying to help you.

  683. Why can’t they understand that we all are small business and we earn our reputation after months of hard work.

    Then suddenly 6+ hours of downtime and you are finished. Your clients will post bad reviews on forums, they will yell at you and you can’t even provide an explanation to them because iWeb staff is just fooling us.

  684. My chat experience….

    gary: why is my server always goign down???

    gary: we have not received any response

    gary: i just submitted another one….

    Nick P.: We will be analysing the situation

    gary: you guys keep saying that..can you please let mek now what the problem is now?

    gary: with the server?

    gary: this is not related to the network outage right?

    gary: hello?

    Nick P.: As mentioned in our blog, a minority of customers may get some network issues on their Smart Servers. We suggest you to provide to us the IP addresses that are not reachable on your end and your server ID to let us continue our investigation.

    gary: i think its 184.107.218.98, to 184.107.218.102

    Nick P.: Greetings, Network Incident on NE http://blog.iweb.com/en/tag/incident_network_20120208 (blog updated) if your server is not back online within 15 min, or if you can access your server from ip but not domain please open a ticket in server outage. If your server ID does not start wit NE and is unreacable please open a ticket in server outage, For any other question or technical issue right now please open a ticket in the right section as our agent on livechat may be unable to assist you right now due to the crysis

    gary: nick this doenst really answer my question

    gary: ive been getting that by email

    gary: i need you to help me get my server back up pls

    Nick P.: We cannot on livechat sir, if you have raise a ticket please indicate to me the ticket number

    gary: i’ve raised 5 tickets

    gary: none of them answered

    @Özgür Akman LOL! At least i managed to LOL inspite of this chaos…… you’re right..our losses are severe!

  685. @ilya p no problem, once the issue is resolved you will be able to submit an SLA claim.

  686. [...] ???? ?? ?????? ??????? ????? iWeb Blog ??????? ? ??????????? ??????? ?? ?? ?????? ??? ???? [...]

  687. 6 hours is a major downtime in the advertising business.

  688. @ Oscar Navarro nice site… good for you…

  689. @justin Can I ask you what back up you have? iweb has ruined its rep..

  690. I’m pretty sure that they are not fooling with us but, any how; we are losing money.

  691. For those who have secondary IP issue, just try to run these two command in following order in SSH

    1- service network restart

    2- service ipaliases restart

    I hope it helps.

  692. And secondary ip issue is going how?

  693. still no secondary ips
    ****web is clowning us

  694. We use AWS as a backup.

  695. everything is starting working well now… i hope its the same for you guys

  696. @ Justin thx for that… where is your Nameserver DNS at?

  697. Mark, sorry you feel that way but I resent the fact that you imply I am lying. Just simply doing everything I can to keep you guys informed.

  698. RAV do you use secondary ips?

  699. secondary ips are working too Cody Colby

  700. @ Justin the domain attached to your profile ID http://www.resultgaming.com/ is not coming up… how is that back up working for you now?

  701. http://dyn.com/dns/ ^_^ works like a charm

  702. I like my server Load Averages: 0.00 0.00 0.02 but still do not have secondary ips

  703. Thats one of our non required domains. “Its my gaming community”

  704. NE-T027-390 is unreachable

  705. ilya p: yes i have some domains in dedicated ips and they are working now (after the reboot they said and it looks everything is working as allways. I hope its the same for you… all of us are loosing business and our clients are gettting mad with us

  706. @ Justin thx for dyn.com – confused a bit are you using this for all your domains?

  707. RAV thanks for the feedback

    Thanks Bilal for sharing this info.

  708. http://www.resultgaming.com/ is working for me

  709. @Stéphane Jose but I need my servers back online :(

  710. @ Justin just asking not trying be a pain – looking into http://dyn.com/dns/ now thx

  711. ThamDai, we just use it for site we cant afford to have down. Its a very fast DNS update for most services. Most of the time its done in seconds.

  712. hello I have a server to air and one can tell me if they are dropped solved yet?

  713. @Stephanie. NE-T076-480 is still not available.

    We’re monitoring / probing not just ICMP but the port and sockets as well. Still not available at this moment.

  714. Hey Stéphane Jose, I am on NE-T071-320. My DNS seems to be not working on that server, can you please look into it. It does not resolve my domain assigned to that server.

  715. @ Justin makes sense thx…. @Oscar tried http://www.resultgaming.com via my regular ISP and VPN not showing for me…

  716. NE-T013-120
    still has no secondary ips

  717. NE-T049-150 secondary IPs down :((

  718. Someone please update this blog and let us know what is going on and what wee need to do!?

  719. Suddenly these “smart” servers don’t seem so “smart”

    lol

  720. Stéphane: pourrais-tu vérfier NE-T112-030, la main ip ne ping même pas comparativement à ce qu’on l’air de dire les autres

  721. Networking issue is now resolved in our datacenter.

    If you still encounter issues on the server side please do the following:

    restart all unresponsive services

    then type commands:

    service network restart (or the equivalent for your distribution)

    service ipaliases restart (for servers with cpanel)

  722. Well Stephane, let me quote exactly what you said at 4:13, or 42 minutes ago. If that was not a lie, then I’d like to know why yu think it wasn’t!

    “Update 2012-02-09 4:10 AM EDT:Network team had to reboot several routers on NE datacenter. Some Smart Servers will be unavailable for a few minutes. Thank you for your patience.”

    It’s now been 6 1/2 hours my servers have been down, I’ve lost a $2,800 per year client, probably a lot of members on one of my forums, and hundreds of dollars in affiliate commissions!

    And, all I’m getting is one line of crap after another from you guys!

    I could really care less whether you resent it or not!!

  723. im back up, nameservers are kicking in again

  724. CentOS: service network restart OR /etc/init.d/network restart

    Debian/Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/networking restart

  725. NE-T005-120 not working

  726. only main server ip can open all other ip assign not working .

  727. FYI: NE-T036-030 still down

  728. That didn’t work… NE-T003-450 has not come back online, rest of my servers have though.

  729. Still down :(

  730. reboot the cards all ok but not my server urgent help

  731. CL-T042-012JL just went down for me now… wtf is going on?

  732. @ Justin how do you get around paying the hourly on AWS?

  733. Those commands didn’t do a thing…

  734. I’m paying for it :P

  735. NE-T074-540 never came up. my clients are angry and I’m losing credibility, thanks to iweb…. :(

  736. NE-T027-040 is out please help me

  737. NE-T013-120 still just one IP

  738. Hey Steph,

    Think you could give me one of those cloud server invites ^_^

  739. @ Matt CL means Classic server correct? That’s not supposed to be affected by this network issue… if I understand correctly.

  740. Still off, can someone take a care about this?

    NE-T108-050
    NE-T027-370
    NE-T053-270

  741. Good idea for backup as long as they are in a different data center.. @ Justin

  742. @ThamDai that was my thought too.. i have 2 NE’s that have been down this whole time.. but the CL just went down 10min ago

  743. I resart services /etc/init.d/network restart secondary ip’s still not working

  744. /etc/init.d/network restart
    Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
    Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ]
    Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
    Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth0.1: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth0.2: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth0.3: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth0.4: [ OK ]
    Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ]

    still same ……

    too big down time NOW!!!!!

  745. half solved the problem?

  746. @ Matt – this is bringing back memories of the fire that knocked out power for one of the data centers last year.

  747. Back online! ;-)))
    E-mail for us is 150% priority. I’m thinking of Google Apps. Where should I host my DNS? DynDns or ???
    Any recommendations ?

  748. Hi,

    I have typed thoses 2 commands below:
    - service network restart (or the equivalent for your distribution)
    - service ipaliases restart (for servers with cpanel)

    And I got few errors:
    STOCADDRT: No such device FAILED
    STOCSCIFBROADCAST: Cannot assign requested address FAILED
    STOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address FAILED
    STOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address FAILED

    My websites are still down.

    NE-T009-020

  749. “Update 2012-02-09 4:10 AM EDT:Network team had to reboot several routers on NE datacenter. Some Smart Servers will be unavailable for a few minutes. Thank you for your patience.”

    In the above sentence, please replace the word “minutes” by “hours”

  750. SMART SERVER NE-T004-130

  751. NE-T013-020 secondary IPs not working!!!

  752. same issue here secondary IPs not working!!!

  753. Re-Initialized the whole smart server and still down! Please don’t push our patience to its limits!

  754. Just finished full server restart no response from secondary ips

  755. @ iweb

    Update 2012-02-09 5:00 AM EDT: Networking issue is now stable in our datacenter.

    If you still encounter issues on the server side please do the following:

    restart all unresponsive services

    then type commands:

    service network restart (or the equivalent for your distribution)

    service ipaliases restart (for servers with cpanel)

    That would be nice to do if we could even access our server… don’t you think you need to verify everyone can access before you do an update like this?

  756. restarted network, NE-T080-190 still down

  757. ****web lied once again.

    Still having network issues, even after executing the commands they said to execute.
    Still no secondary ip’s being routed to my server.
    Which network issues did you guys fix? imaginary ones?

  758. NE-T036-030 still down – no access in any manner…

  759. It is not working since 7:30 am india time. I called the 1800 number. No one picked up after 4 minute

  760. Can somebody say something real? Something that will do something? I’ve been up since this time Yesterday morning. Do you see a problem with this?

    We have got to do something!

  761. NE-T005-130 down .. for 5+ hours :(

  762. NE-T074-470 and NE-T058-210 nothing yet either. Wish I was one of the ones whose service was restored.

  763. restarting network and ipaliases did not work. still dont have secondary ips.
    NE-T049-150

  764. @ Cody Cody they are… its virtual results for virtually who?

  765. If the commands do not work for you, we invite you to open a ticket in the “Server unreachable” section of your Customer Hub (hub.iweb.com) so a sysadmin can follow up directly with you.

  766. NE-T051-010 Still not working as we speak, can not connect to SSH

  767. Fix this Now!!!! will you refund this lost ???
    Now even the customer hub is down!!!

  768. Server still full inaccessible NE-T056-480
    No ping, No SSh, No Web, No Cpanel, Control Management…

    I moved from Funio to a smart server to have less trouble… I said to my clients, we will go to IWeb beacause it’s better….

    Bye bye my reputation….

  769. And we’re back….

    @Fred Mercier
    I see someone just “took” your ticket. You should have an update sonn.

  770. No ssh access….. almost 14 hours downtime

    I share iweb SLA regarding network Up-time: “iWeb will compensate its clients with a credit equivalent to one day of service for the first 15 minutes of unavailability and a credit of one day of service for each of the following hours. The credit can be claimed up to the monthly amount paid for the service”…

  771. over 10 hours down… no email nothing.
    i just lost 2 customers…
    Pas fort, pas fier de vous autre, j’viens de faire la migration vers un Smart pour éviter le downtime…
    j’viens de perdre 2 clients.

  772. my issues start yestarday no access to the hub center.
    i send them an email..
    today my servers are down!!

    i think i will go back to cloud..

    the big problem was nobody , answer my emails , no one take the phone.

  781. @atoomsestoy de acuerdo contigo, estamos pagando para que resuelvan los problemas que nos ocasionan y la otra que nos hacen que paguemos puntuales.

  782. Tengo horas sin dormir por culpa de ellos.

  783. Que compensacion van hacer por este problema, a mi se me fueron algunos clientes 9 horas fuera ni en un centro de computo cacero pasa eso…

  784. @atooms

    I’m able to connect with ssh to your server at 184.107.195.98
    could you log a ticket with more details ?

  785. Nosotros siempre necesitamos el servidor porque utilizamos hosting para mas de 9000 clientes, que llevamos mas de 12 hrs sin servicio de un servidor que me falta que este en linea

  786. This is a nightmare! My two servers off the air for more than 16 hours, chat, phone, tickets, nothing works any return or position on the solution of the problem. My prejudice is already huge and I do not know what to do!

  787. Esto es un problema grabe

    C’est vrai moi non plus. il y a une maintenance réseau en cours et votre serveur est peut-être concerné.
    J’ai mergé vos 2 ticket. vous devriez avoir des nouvelles…

  791. Wow, this isn’t good at all. My server isn’t responding to ssh or ftp and my drive seems to be in read only mode? Help!

  792. Espero una respuesta de la compensación y explicación que mismo paso

    I await your response and explanation of the compensation that same step

  793. EN QUE IDIOMA TENGO QUE COMENTAR EN INGLES, FRANCES??? PARA QUE ME HAGAN CASO??

  794. @Rodrigo

  809. @ALL

    A network maintenance (not impacting “up” servers) is actually under going.
    This should solve most of the remaining servers with the use of the actions recommended above in our “2012-02-09 12:20 EST” update.

    We remind you that due to the greater amount of tickets to be treated, the response time on the chat and the phone is slower than normal.

    thanks again for your understanding.

  810. porque me contestan esto;
    Greetings,

    Your server is currently reachable through your WHM control panel and
    your websites are functional.

    Everything seems to be fine right now.

    Do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

    SI NO TENGO ACCESO POR FTP, NO TENGO CORREO, MIS DOMINIOS NO ACCESAN!!

    MIS PROGRAMADORES ESTAN DE VACACIONES POR 5 DIAS Y ES CUANDO PASA ESTO CON LOS SERVIDORES!!!

    ELLOS DEBEN DE SOLUCIONAR AL 100% SUS CONFLICTOS! NO MANDARNOS A RESETEAR NUESTROS SERVICIOS!!!

  811. TODAVIA NO TENGO SOLUCION DE MI SERVIDOR, SIGUE CAIDO

    SALUCION……………….

  812. Our server is still down, What is going on with Iweb for the last 14 hours. I do not believe any company can be down this long. What is it about iweb advertisement 100% uptime and rock solid infrastructure. Quite funny that they took the propaganda down. I hope they put it on the front page explaining to potentially that they’ve been down for the last 14hours and is not capable of taking on more clients because they have to service current client first.

  813. TODAVIA NO TENGO SOLUCION DE MI SERVIDOR, SIGUE CAIDO

    SALUCION……………….

  814. @ Mike Le

    Perfecto, deacuerdo es lo que dicen y no lo cumplen

  815. @Mike Le

    I understand your point and want to help you and the customers that can’t access their server now.
    Do you have a ticket number or server ID ?
    As I said before, the actual network maintenance should correct the problems we still have for some customers.

    Sorry, your server is not reachable.

    thanks for your understanding.

  825. @bertrand

    How about mine???

  826. @ahmed

    Sorry, your server is not reachable.
    I’ve merged your 4 tickets for the same server into one (5229412).
    the actual network maintenance should correct the problems we still have for some customers.
    thanks for your understanding.

  827. @bertrand

    according to my tests, main ip is loading. But all others aren’t.

  828. Forgot the server id SERVER NE-T033-230

  829. @Apoguy

    ok for the main IP for NE-T033-230. and happy to see at least the main one is working and your server is back.

    The network maintenance is actually done to make sure that all IP adresses (including secondary IP’s) are well routed to the right servers. that could be your problem.

    The actual network maintenance should correct the IP/VLAN problems we still have for some customers.
    thanks for your understanding.

  830. misteriosamente estoy en el penultimo servidor de la fila de espera…..

  831. Server finally working for me.
    Thanks to iWeb team. Must have been a very difficult day for you too.
    However, I think you will need to review your redundancy and/or backup plans

  832. [TICKET #5268401]

    Server NE-T078-190

    no ftp, no access, still down!

  833. Finally back up! And after only 18 solid hours of being down.

    Guess that shoots iweb’s 100% uptime guarantee all to hell!

    If there are NO other issues for the rest of the month, you guys will have managed an actual uptime of 92%, or among the worst of the worst!

  834. Im loosing so many customers because of this! and I’am considering moving server.

  837. @Christian Pauli

    I’ve merged your 2 ticket into one (5234407).
    You must be one of the last 20 customers still having problems with your IP’s.
    Your ticket should be taken care of soon.
    Thank you for your understanding…

  838. If you can get into your Virtual Control Panels now, try re-initializing the smart layer, then when server is back up restart the network and ipaliases, that how I got mine working again.

  839. Finally everything is up for me, we have 5 servers with Iweb and 3 of them was down between 6 to 18 hours. I don’t think my client would be confortable if I mention bring them to iweb from their current datacenter. Iweb Tried I guess they’ve been lucky so far all these years about being up but with what’s going on, from my experience they do not have all the preparation in place to backup their claim. Just my 2 cents.

  840. we are unreachable yet….. ticket number 5237926 SERVER NE-T020-180

  841. We need some STATUS……………………………… unreachable SERVER NE-T020-180

  842. @Carlos Santillán

    I just gave your ticket to our support team.
    They will take care of your request soon.

  852. Hello! Great work, and thanks for keeping us updated while the incident happened.

    Information feed is always important when these things happen.

    Congrats all arround!

  853. Hello,

    Can you assure us that this will not happen again in the future? We are a high traffic website and we cannot afford a 15-hour downtime.

  854. I trust we will all be suitably reimbursed for the downtime with additional days of web hosting as per your 100% uptime guarantee:

    http://iweb.com/about-iweb/legal/uptime

    Will this be done automatically or do we need to submit a claim?

    My logs show I was done for over 12 hours!

  855. @riclops

    Thanks a lot for the kind words.
    Once again we learned a lot during his incident and will make changes to the communication procedures / teams to continue to improve this information / conversation feed.
    bertrand

  856. @Francis

    we’ll include in our post-mortem the measures we’ll take to make sure to avoid unexpected downtimes for our customers.
    thanks

  857. @Simon

    iWeb has always taken seriously its SLA and we will stand our promises and apply the credits required.

    I do not know actually if these will be done automatically so i would advise you to request them by yourself on your customer hub.

    here’s the way to request SLA credits :
    A/ Logon to the hub
    B/ browse to :
    iWeb > Customer Hub > Finance and Billing > Renewable Products >
    C/ find the server involved and click on Details on the line of this server.
    D/ then you’ll be able to click on “SLA credit request” and access the form to fill.

    Thanks again for your trust and patience.

  858. @all

    The incident affecting our network network is now resolved. Note that a few servers are still experiencing connectivity issues. As these problems are not necessarily connected to the network outage we experienced, we must investigate them manually one by one. If you have already created a ticket, there is no need to create a new one, our sysadmins will give you an update directly. You can also follow-up on your ticket directly by replying to it by email.

    Please note that actually, when you create a ticket, it currently will not be displayed in the customer hub.
    Do not worry, we have it in our system. The ticket in the hub functionality should be restored in the following hours/days.

    Also, response time on the chat and on the phone is also back to more normal levels.

    A more detailed technical update will also be published in the next 24-48h following our postmortem.

    I personally would like to thank you all again for your trust, patience, and understanding.

    The comments in this closed incident will be disabled from now on.
