#3Comodo's DNS.com appears to be down too.

#4I understand things happen, but this is a huge outage for a DNS service.
What makes it much worse is the lack of communication or updates from them. They have intermittently posted on their status site or twitter account, but not once responded to any support request I have made (attempted phone, email and twitter).
I would recommend avoid them. Things happen, it's how you deal with them that matters and in my opinion that's where they have failed.

#5This took down services like Fogbugz on demand.

#6Going on 8 hours of Zerigo's downtime I've had to move all of our Zerigo DNS to DNSMadeEasy. It's a shame, because I really, really like Zerigo, especially their API.
Shit happens, but 99.9% (8 hours a year of downtime) is completely unacceptable for a DNS provider.

#7Well, that explains why my wife woke me up complaining about half the internet not working. Our ISP is 3 (drei.at) and she was using their DNS, guess there are issues all over Europe.

#8I run a DNS hosting service (SlickDNS, www.slickdns.com) and have seen a spike in signups today as a direct result of the Zerigo DDOS attack.
I can't claim that SlickDNS is invulnerable to DDOS attack, but FWIW it does run tinydns name servers which have good performance and excellent security. So if you're impacted by the Zerigo outage, feel free to check out SlickDNS. There's a 30-day free trial with all plans and record updates are pushed through to all the name servers in under 5 seconds.

Sounds good... but do you have a REST API? That's the primary reason I chose Zerigo in the first place.

It's a FAQ: https://www.slickdns.com/faq/#api ;)
The REST API is in final testing, and should be released later this week. It will ship with libraries for Python, Ruby and PHP.
