DNSimple DDOS Attack

Anyone switching from DNSimple? I really don't want to, but we've been down for almost 3 hours. I've seen chatter about Cloudfare and it looks pretty good, reviews?

We switched periscope.io from DNSimple to Amazon Route 53. DNSimple doesn't have an exporter so it took about an hour, including having one engineer review the other engineer's work.

Many customers were able to resolve the domain in the minutes immediately following the switch, and the rest seem to be trickling in.

Are you talking about a zone file exporter? DNSimple does have one, we just used it to migrate to Route53. http://support.dnsimple.com/articles/zone-export/

EDIT: right, must have been able to log in during a brief period where dnsimple was not down.

Amazon's route53 is an awesome service :)

Recent outages were reported earlier in the week.

(ObRandom: I run a service that wraps route53 with git integration, at https://dns-api.com/ )

We switched baremetrics.io over to AWS/Route53 as well. It didn't take long (NS switch might still be propagating) but not having ALIAS support is a bit of a drag.
