We've been internally alerted of a higher-than-usual fail rate for our Uptime Monitoring system. The DENIC domain registry is currently having issues, causing most of the .DE domains to not resolve. Our system is currently detecting these uptime monitors as being down, as it should be, since they are not resolving properly. Sources: https://status.denic.de/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48027897 https://www.reddit.com/r/de_EDV/comments/1t4qlrg/psa_die_dezone_l%C3%B6st_gerade_gro%C3%9Ffl%C3%A4chig_nicht_mehr/ This issue is out of our hands, and our system is working as expected. We're posting this here so that our users are informed of what is happening with their .DE uptime monitors. We'll continue to monitor the situation as it progresses.
