We monitor many sites and run monitoring ourselves and receive status updates from suppliers.

We are now able to confirm that two nodes on our network where impacted by DNS issues between 17:13 and 17:45 today. As many of you will be aware there have been some major DOS attacks today which impacted a number of key sites at this time so we are attributing this issue to that attack.
We will continue to monitor and apologise for the inconvenience this outage has caused our customers.
As can be seen this is out of our control and is affecting many users worldwide.
