Is opensiteexplorer down?

[stevoarnold]

I've not been able to access opensiteexplorer.org for a couple of hours now, the front page says "it looks like something went south... we have been informed" etc.

Can somebody please answer the following for me?

1. Is anyone else having experiencing this or is it me?
2. Is there anywhere on this site that shows service status for these things?
3. Does this happen often?

Thanks

Steve

yep, it is down. From what I understand they are trying to fix some bug - you can read about it at

No it does not happen too often - never seen it down before personally but I suppose as with any software - oops things can happen. This outage is more of an oops thing rather then chronic problem.

Ok, cheers for the info

OSE being down was actually not related to the delay in the index. It was related to the severe weather in Virginia that took out some of Amazon's cloud servers (the same reason Instagram, Netflix, Pinterest, Raven Tools, and a bunch of other sites were down last night).

We did update our Twitter feed as soon as we were aware of the outage, though I see we didn't update the known issues page (which has a link from the SEOmoz pro dashboard). I'll mention that to the team as we do our evaluation of this downtime.

Typically we keep Twitter updated when we're having any type of outage, maintenance, or see anything wonky possibly going on.
