    From what I can see, the internet service Cloudshards use has died – nobody seems to be announcing their routes over BGP – their provider is QueryFoundry as far as I can tell for the IP block my VPS is in.

    I imagine Cloudshards are scrambling to get fixed. However, there seems to be no way to contact them.

    they abandoned their twitter feed a long time ago:

    I can’t find a facebook page for them
