ServerBeach is experiencing a power outage at their Virginia datacenter. It not only affected customer servers, but also their My Serverbeach portal, and thus the ability to create tickets. I am going on 7 hours of downtime on my primary server. Even though ServerBeach was started by Rackspace, I sometimes wonder during outages such as this if they ever had anything in common.

Did you ever wonder why some hosting companies are cheaper than others? One of the cheaper solutions out there is Server Beach with dedicated servers starting at $79/month. What do you get for that money? Well, today working DNS server would not be part of the bargain. Their ironically named “GeoDNS” DNS service has fallen victim to a single hardware failure “in (their) San Antonio datacenter“, according to VP Robert Miggens.
