The domain name registrar Register.com has been experiencing a multi-hour outage of their DNS servers today. Clients who rely on Register.com for hosting their DNS may experience issues with anything that relies on DNS, meaning email, web, etc.

No digital.forest services are affected by this outage, but we know that some of our clients use Register.com, and to them it may appear that their data here is offline. That is certainly not the case.

At this time we do not have any more information about the cause, or the expected time of resolution to Regsiter.com's issues. So far Register.com has made no statements and has no notice on their website about the issues. We are aware of them through our constant monitoring of the Internet's operational communications channels. If we hear more definitive information we'll post it here on the support blog.

Update: 4:30 AM PDT At this time it appears Register.com is fully back online.
