Ask HN: Is .space TLD Down?

nope, works for me (in EU)

Doesn't work for me either right now. Google apps is also failing to resolve it.

Down for us as well.

The .space zone seems to have gone from 973093 domains to 447730

I contacted spaceship.com support, and they said there's a problem with this TLD.

@dang or anyone Can someone push this up since it’s becoming quite serious and I don’t know what to do.

Namecheap also reported it: https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/issue-with-space-do...

Manually repropagate, I just added the NS records again (removed, saved, re-added) and it worked.

My .space domains seem to work again

So we resolved this by switching away from Cloudflare handling our DNS to revert it back to our domain service provider (Namecheap). This made our site available again.

Now we've switched it back to Cloudflare and still looks up.

So something in changing it seems to have jiggled some bits somewhere.

/ turn it on and off again / I guess

Looks like the zone file is back to normal size now.

It works now

Likely something at the root level went bananas.
