We're back online at http://candid.io. Someone on twitter posted "VCs should think twice before investing in startups without a .com" -> I think that's patently absurd. Azure, AWS, and the other 'core infrastructure' services suffer similar outages form time to time.

Unfortunately it may appear up for you and for monitoring systems yet still not resolve for others, depending on DNS cache freshness as well as which root name server you (randomly) fall on.
Re: .io domains down?
#36They 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.
Some of those that were broken are starting to work again. However the NXDOMAIN responses will have been cached and take a little while to expire.

On top of that some customers will still end up on the name servers that are still failing, resulting in NXDOMAIN results still ending up cached in resolvers.
