Hope it was only a small office , they can get quite heavy , how far did you move it lol
As I said in another thread I have no doubt the Chinese have a hand in this.

Cloud Fare was down. Half the internet uses them, hence the widespread issues.

The last couple of days the internet s been taking a beating.... Anyone noticed if they posted Bitcoin addresses on the websites that were down as well?

 

[HustleTong]

No issues in my end.

It was Cloudflare.

Today, from approximately 21:12 to 21:39 UTC, a configuration error in our backbone network caused an outage for Internet properties that use Cloudflare. During this period we saw traffic drop by about 50% across our network. Because of the architecture of our backbone this outage didn’t affect the entire Cloudflare network and was localized only to certain geographies.

This service disruption was not the result of an attack. It was caused by a network configuration error which caused traffic across our backbone to be sent to a single router on our global network. This quickly overwhelmed that router and caused Cloudflare network locations connected to the backbone to fail. Other locations not connected to the backbone continued to operate normally.

We have posted an initial summary of this incident on the Cloudflare blog. We’ve already made a change to the backbone configuration to make sure that this cannot happen again.

We’re deeply sorry about how this disruption may have impacted your services. Our business is based on trust and transparency and we are committed to your success.

This is what happens when one company monopolizes dns.
