I can't reach anything on the fremont network, or blog.linode.com. Not sure if this is linode-specific or Hurricane Electric again. Anyone else having issues?

#2I can get to linode.com but not blog.linode.com
There were so many reasons I chose Atlanta for my linode. No outage yet there!

#3My fremont-based sites are all online and working fine.
I can't get to their blog though.

The blog is coming up for me... just very slow.

#5This has been a scheduled maintenance that's been on the Linode status page (where you should always check if there's an outage) for a week: http://status.linode.com/2010/12/scheduled-network-maintenan...
Re: Linode down yet again?
#6My sites in Fremont were down for about 45 minutes total (so far). Status update history:
- "We do not expect a significant interruption of service during this maintenance window."
- "There will be a brief period of connectivity-loss while our network infrastructure undergoes this maintenance."
- "Routing for some subnets has been affected. We working with the NOC to bring them back as soon as possible."

#7Dallas DC seems to be fine.
Re: Linode down yet again?
#8It seems just network maintenance. I can connect to my server now and based on the log, there is no restart event. (after about 1 hour interruption).

A hosting company that doesn't actively inform customers of outages? Unprofessional. Nobody is going to read a status blog every day to see if an outage might happen at some point in the future. Passive notification isn't acceptable, imo.

I'm sort of mixed. On one hand, you're right: it's a little ridiculous that users who are known to be affected wouldn't be alerted in advance.
On the other hand, it is great that Linode had alerts posted on the status blog in advance, and worthy of note that every host will have downtime. Having a backup solution in place should be a responsibility that lies in the hands of the customer, but you're right: without verified notification it's a little hard to plan ahead.
I have to say though, having switched to Linode from a more crowded, oversold host (BurstNET), the difference is amazing.
