📅 - A botched software update at Spain's central domain registry knocked as many as 400,000 sites offline for several hours Tuesday, according to the Esnic registry. The error prevented Internet users from being able to access domains using .es, the country code top-level domain for Spain.
The outage lasted from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, local time, when the DNS database that connects domain names to IP addresses was "affected by an error" during a software update, according to an advisory posted at Esnic, which manages the .es database.
Spain-based Web hosting provider Arsys, which uses Arsys.es as its primary domain, was one of the many Web hosts that was affected by the update. The provider hosts more than 600,000 hostnames, although only some of these use .es for their domain. Other top-level domains were not affected.
Netcraft offers a Web site performance monitoring service that provides detailed uptime charts, along with email alerts when an outage occurs.
