Load balancer failure

Status: resolved

Today between 14:12 and 14:15, a disruption occurred on our load balancers which caused various load balanced services to be unavailable for a short time.

BIT engineers immediately started working on the problem to find out what could have been the cause.
Update placed at 26/07/2023, 14:52
The disruption was caused by a momentary (exceptional) spike in requests from 1 customer on the shared hosting platform. The load balancers could not handle this amount of requests.

The incident has been resolved. If you have any questions regarding this incident, please contact the Customer Care department by phone on +31 (0)318 648 688 or by email on support@bit.nl.
