Is DirectNIC in a hurricane secure datacenter or a regular office building?
Looks like Ivan is heading your way.

Directnic is safe, Billy can handle any hurricane, he's already got his yellow raincoat on and is out there standing guard - he can't pick football games worth shit tho.

We went 7 days without power from Frances. Batteries and generators can only go so far. Even Bellsouth's backup generators went down here. That has never happened before. Scary as hell if you run a large business completely dependent on electricity to function. |

I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet Michael has a few backup plans in place for DirectNic.

DirectNIC is hosted at a datacenter we own in New Orleans. It is on the 11th floor of a class A skyscraper. The building can withstand 250 MPH winds. On the 10th floor we have a huge Catipiller generator, we just tapped off out 2,000 gallon diesel tank, and have a contract to have it filled again for weeks at a time if needed. Now of course the real issue is I am currently in New Orleans, and people are asking me to head back to Tampa ASAP. They claim the storm is following me.... ![]() |

Baton Rouge here. It''s hard to say I hope that fucker goes somewhere else, because it just seems mean to wish it on anyone. We aren't on the coast, so I am not extremely worried, but we will get one hell of a storm if it comes this way. Too early to tell though. Good luck to anyone in it's path.

Actually I think I will be staying here.... infact, if the Hurricane hits, I will be staying in the Zipa Data Center ( where DirectNIC is hosted). I know I will have power and internet access there. For the record, the datacenter we own, was built by ENRON. Since they had all that "paper money" they built a world class datacenter which we picked up for pennies on the dollar. Anyone visit New Orleans should hit me up, we can give tours of the operation! ![]() |

That building sounds solid as a rock if it can handle 250 MPH winds. Good luck to everyone. |

Where are Directnic's own Direct DNS nameserver machines? Are they in the same building or are they in other locations?
I have 126 domains at Directnic and I am in the process of transferring a high value domain to there right now (Network Solutions just sent the Registrar Transfer Request Completion email). I hope it all holds together. And how long after NS signs off on the transfer will I see the domain in my Directnic account? ![]() |

I went to datacenter, which is on 11th floor. All windows on that floor have double re-enforced storm shutters. I am confident enough in this space that if Ivan hits, I will be in datacenter during the storm. ![]() |
