For me too.. well, sometimes it resolves, sometimes it doesn't. There seems to be an issue with .io globally: https://twitter.com/dnsimple/status/342991722365734912

I'm glad I'm not crazy.

$ host www.filepicker.io www.filepicker.io is an alias for anycast.filepicker.io. anycast.filepicker.io has address 174.129.254.207 Host anycast.filepicker.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Host anycast.filepicker.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

$ host filepicker.io Host filepicker.io not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Nope: Our sites (fine.io, fry.io) are up

It would appear that fry.io is actually down. That's the one hosted with nic.io. This is why I wanted to move away from them. They are really incompetent.

I have a .io with nic.io, and it seems to be ok right now

Anthony from DNSimple here. I'll pass along what I know so far: some of nic.io's name servers appear to be no longer delegating .io domains out to authoritative name servers. Some of their name servers are still delegating properly, but some are not.

This issue also affects .sh and .ac TLDs I believe since they are the same registry. If I find out anything new I'll post on Twitter in the @dnsimple account and here.
