They have 7 name servers, 5 are broken and returning NXDOMAIN for all domains.

Working:

b.nic.io. ns1.communitydns.net.

Not working:

a.nic.io. a.ns13.net. b.nic.ac. b.ns13.net. ns3.icb.co.uk.

Yes! My site (robert.io) is down and I've been chasing my tail trying to figure out what's wrong. It's refreshing to see that I'm not the only one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

ok, now it's not

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.

Intercom.io is down as well. Particularly frustrating since its preventing me from replying to customer emails.
