- ThomasJason68, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2Techcrunch is reporting on it now: http://tinyurl.com/nsorxo
- Chewie67, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2That's what has shocked me.
Hundreds of thousands of web sites must use Authorize.net, and they're all out of commission (no pun intended).
I think we're clearly seeing that sites like Twitter and Digg are the future of news broadcasting. The "networks" just can't keep up. - Chewie67, on 07/03/2009, -0/+2Worse yet, any web site displaying an Authorize.net badge is loading veeerrrryyyyy sloooooowly because of the timeout problem.

- ThomasJason68, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Where did you get all of that information?
- BrendanG, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Only comments from Authorize.net seem to be on Twitter: http://twitter.com/authorizenet
- assasinine, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1There's nothing about an earthquake in the news....

The first error this year on a transaction in a weird part of code that was written a while ago. I was like oh my god, what, DNS? A switch? ***** ***** *****!
I was shocked, there was no error coding to catch if authorize.net was actually down or not. I got paged; post after post failed. I was in a panic... oh no, not again, not before a holiday weekend... I'm on the road on a tethered vpn, *****...
A friend called up and said they were on fire. I was happy and I was sad. Happy because it wasn't our infrastructure, unhappy because it would be more work for me come monday to trap someone else's application failing on auth.net connect. - us3rsearch, on 07/04/2009, -0/+0This was due to the fire at the Fisher Plaza Data Center in Seattle.
- OnAsideNote, on 07/04/2009, -0/+0I'm trying to use vurtumart/Authorize.net
Anyone have any advise on reoccurring billing.
I tried N-bill and AEC but those seem to be more for membership reoccuing.
I'm looking for product reoccurring not user.
Please do not advise paypal www.paypalsucks.com - jwebber, on 07/03/2009, -2/+2There was a large earthquake in Utah that caused the datacenter to start on fire. Immediately following that their backup datacenter was a victim of the recent flooding in Dallas. But the most unfortunate part of the story is the only technician who knows how to "plug in" their "tertiary" backup server ran into "bad weather" on the way in and was forced to turn back.
My company relies on Authorize.net, this situation is pretty not cool.
Here is more info than (then?) the blog post linked to above... http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=626 ... - assasinine, on 07/03/2009, -1/+1Apparently there's been bad weather in Utah. Also, I just pulled this comment from another board: "I called to their British office. There is was a fire at the data center. That's the only thing they are able to say at this point."
