Tons of leading sites including the BBC, Uber as well as Netflix went down concurrently on Thursday in some regions of the United States, but were generally.

“We are working to solve the issue.”

“UltraDNS is working to deal with the problem,” Evers said. “We apologize for the annoyance.”

Neustar supported in a tweet that there was a problem with its UltraDNS.

It was not clear whether UltraDNS were relied on by all those impacted, but ride-sharing service Uber attributed its problems on that.
