You may have come across a website that is not working at the moment. If you have a domain with Arsys, the sites are failing. There is an incident and it is not possible to access their web pages. This is causing multiple problems, as it affects domains of all kinds, including those of public institutions that many users have to access to carry out procedures. Basically, it gives an error when trying to enter.
If you do a search on social network X, for example, you will see multiple users mentioning this problem. This is an outage that affects what is considered to be one of the most important platforms for registering domains and hiring hosting in Spain. This means that many websites in Spain have been affected.
Sites inaccessible due to an Arsys failure
An example is the Guadalajara City Council website. It is currently down and it is impossible to access it, which is affecting many users who, for example, need to enter the electronic headquarters to carry out any procedure. The domain is not working directly and has been like this, at least, since early this morning. You can see the X thread from our colleague Sergio, where he tells us about the problems he is having related to the Arsys failure.
The same thing happens with any other website that depends on Arsys. The DNS resolution failure makes it impossible to access these websites normally, which is causing problems for many people, as well as for the company itself. There are users who indicate that they are trying to contact technical support, but are not succeeding.
Arsys must be getting a lot of calls right now. All of their clients are down and, again, this is a very popular company for hosting websites in Spain. Support via chat, email or calls is not working. At least, for the moment. When trying to access any page, it gives a DNS error.
Massive problem
This type of massive problem can significantly affect companies and organizations of all kinds, as well as individual users who simply need to access a page. Many websites depend on the traffic they receive to be able to sell their products and, ultimately, reach customers. If a page is down for a long time, it obviously means financial losses, as well as image losses. It can even affect the normal development of any working day in a company.
If you go to Downdetector, the website to check if a problem you are having with a website or platform affects others, you can clearly see that this is a fault that is affecting many people. In the image we have left, you can see how the queries began early this morning.
We hope that this massive Arsys incident is resolved as soon as possible and that all websites are available again normally. From RedesZone, we will soon update with news to confirm whether the error has been solved in a short time or, on the contrary, has lasted longer than desired.
