Customers RAGE after Webfusion goes TITSUP

Hosting firm's Total Inability To Support Usual Performance enrages Twittersphere

Venerable hosting firm Webfusion UK is experiencing a crippling outage which has hobbled web services across the country.

At 15 years old, Webfusion is one of the UK's premier server hosts.

Its website collapsed earlier today, although it is now back up, and customers said they were unable to get through to technical support on the telephone.

Some customers wondered if the outage was caused by a DDoS attack, whilst others speculated it was due to heavy Black Friday traffic.

The problems were first reported four hours ago. Webfusion finally released a statement on Twitter a few minutes before this story was published.

As the outage unfolded, furious customers took to Twitter to vent spleen.

Both websites and email systems were affected by the outage. ®
