    something happened yesterday. Now seems to be working again. but getting
    same issue still re - resolving not resolving.

    The DNS is working again, which it wasn't before. Until that propagates,
    the IP is:

    www.xencentrichosting.uk. 0 IN CNAME xencentrichosting.uk. mail.xencentrichosting.uk. 0 IN CNAME xencentrichosting.uk. xencentrichosting.uk. 0 IN A 193.35.57.251 russellhafter.me.uk. 0 IN A 193.35.57.251

    (in other words, you can use that IP in place of the hostname for now - the system appears to be a single machine)

    Since they have set a TTL of zero (the first digit column above) I would
    expect DNS propagation to be fairly quick as it forces uncached accesses.
    It is possible the TTL was previously much longer (up to a day, typicaly),
    so it could be a while before older cached accesses catch up.

    www.xencentrichosting.uk. 0 IN CNAME
    xencentrichosting.uk. mail.xencentrichosting.uk. 0 IN

    0 IN A 193.35.57.251
    russellhafter.me.uk. 0 IN A
    193.35.57.251

    (in other words, you can use that IP in place of the
    hostname for now - the system appears to be a single
    machine)

    I think that there are at least two servers? some of us use
    cPanel to administer our domain(s), others use DirectAdmin.
    According to one of the twitter postings, only those using
    cPanel were affected.

    Since they have set a TTL of zero (the first digit column
    above) I would expect DNS propagation to be fairly quick
    as it forces uncached accesses. It is possible the TTL
    was previously much longer (up to a day, typicaly), so it
    could be a while before older cached accesses catch up.

    Thanks Theo for the technical bits.

    Yes, it all started working again late yesterday morning. A
    Couple of brief statements on twitter too, about the DNS
    problems (which I had deduced, since nothing resolved).

    I have not had any outages since, though I was not in a
    position to try until about 1530 yesterday - I work on a
    Thursday and have a dedicated User on my Windows machine for
    work, which makes no use of xenCentric for anything.
