DNS outage
Incident Report for DNSimple
Resolved
The redirector service is now restored and is answering requests. Much of the team is now getting some well deserved sleep and we will continue to work through the backlog of support requests. We'll have a post-mortem posted very soon after we conduct more research with our network provider. Thank you very much for your patience and support!
