The Planet

BTW, this The Planet stuff is getting out of control pretty quick.

Everyone is trying to figure out why there's been a constant meltdown: http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=91453

Their DNS servers were down for 3 hours on top of all the random latency. We're happy we'd already started migrating or there would have been a more serious outage last night.

Keep in mind we have over 10K servers there (HostGator) and we're their largest customer by far. We've never seen any major ongoing issues with TP at all until recently in the 5 years or so we've used them that was not resolved very quickly.

They did a switch upgrade a while back and since then, their network issues have been never ending. The switch upgrade in question was this one ( http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1226 ). They upgraded ALL their switches with this upgrade a few at a time, but we can't convince them that's when it started.

Don't know if this has to do with The Planet's problems (they do host a lot of web sites), but I found the internet, in general, very sluggish today.

Hostgator is large enough they should consider building their own NOC. In the mean time http://www.serverbeach.com/ . I have done business with them and they are great. Just tossing ideas out.
