.IO domain name reliability issues

January 9, 2018blogBy Iryna Korkishko

What domain do you use? Recently we found some news (surprisingly not spread enough before) about using .IO domain issues. On September 2017 it was a big outage happened to about 20% of DNS resolutions for all .io domains. They were totally broken. So you’d better be aware of .IO domain name reliability issues.

.IO domain is not a great choice anymore. The outage on September 20th showed how severe the problems and support infrastructure are. Despite that it was hard to find people complaining about that, there were a lot of outages.

If you already use this domain please make sure you consider:

Adding a backup .ORG domain name
Using a backup DNS provider for either the .COM or .ORG domain name
Implementing client-side DNS failover in our SDKs

Syndicode has been a great development partner for us at Southern Made. They have helped us build a variety of websites and apps; everything from microsites that went from design to deployment in a matter of days to large-scale applications and APIs that were developed over many months. In addition to developing new web properties, they have been able to jump in and provide maintenance support on a wide variety of our existing apps with very quick ramp-up time. Syndicode works hard to make themselves available for constant communication and is a development partner I would highly recommend to anyone building web-based applications.
