nope, works for me (in EU)

ustad•1h ago

Some domains are working but many are not. first hit on DDG: stuffin.space

mAritz•1h ago

Doesn't work for me either right now. Google apps is also failing to resolve it.

ustad•1h ago

Wonder why some are working. I am searching DDG with “site:.space”

eerikkivistik•1h ago

Down for us as well.

ustad•1h ago

Email seems to be affected as well :(

eerikkivistik•1h ago

Whois isn't even showing the domains and name servers. Not to mention DNS records. Its like the domains don't exist anymore.

ustad•1h ago

Is there a “status page” for TLDs?

eerikkivistik•1h ago

No idea. Never actually seen a failure like this in practise.

HiryuSingh•1h ago

The .space zone seems to have gone from 973093 domains to 447730

ustad•1h ago

Where did you get that number?

HiryuSingh•1h ago

CentralNIC

I contacted spaceship.com support, and they said there's a problem with this TLD.

ustad•1h ago

Thanks for the info!

ustad•1h ago

@dang or anyone Can someone push this up since it’s becoming quite serious and I don’t know what to do.

eerikkivistik•1h ago

Agreed, let's upvote this thread higher to get some eyes on this.

iamt0n•1h ago

Namecheap also reported it: https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/issue-with-space-do...

ustad•1h ago

Thanks - at least I’m not going mad.

jatone•1h ago

indeed, I was just on their support prior to that getting posted. lol

iamt0n•1h ago

update: my site is back online now.

mdaspaceguy2•1h ago

Manually repropagate, I just added the NS records again (removed, saved, re-added) and it worked.

jatone•57m ago

also did this, hasnt resolved yet.

ubergesundheit•1h ago

My .space domains seem to work again

eerikkivistik•1h ago

It seems to ping-pong back and forth. Our monitoring is basically spamming us with DNS down, DNS up every 5 minutes or so.

simonv3•1h ago

So we resolved this by switching away from Cloudflare handling our DNS to revert it back to our domain service provider (Namecheap). This made our site available again.

Now we've switched it back to Cloudflare and still looks up.

So something in changing it seems to have jiggled some bits somewhere.

/ turn it on and off again / I guess

hunkins•1h ago

Yup, appears to be an turn off turn on fix. Very frustrating though for such a critical piece of infrastructure

HiryuSingh•1h ago

Looks like the zone file is back to normal size now.

ge0rg3e•59m ago

It works now

CacheMe0utside•46m ago

Likely something at the root level went bananas.
