Plenty of Fish suffers major outage


plenty-of-fish-login

Popular free dating site Plenty of Fish has suffered a major outage this afternoon.

Visitors to the site saw only a “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” message on the screen, and we’re unable to get any further into the service.

Notably this type of error would normally indicate a domain issue with the site, that may mean that it may take some time to fix. A fix to an IP address for example has to propagate across the web, and at worst case this can take up to 48 hours.

There’s no official word yet from Plenty of Fish on the outage. As of 2:30pm PST Saturday Plenty of Fish remains offline. We’ll update the post if we here anything.

Update: seems to be back up as of 4pm PST. No word yet from Plenty of Fish as to what caused the problem

    Wow, two grammatical errors within an 8 line article. I guess it doesn't take a highschool education to be a news reporter on the internet!

    Actually there's only one. Nonetheless, you came to this site to obviously read on the error with POF, so why dissect this article? It's a free service and they did a wonderful job addressing the problematic event.

    Thank You “The Inquisitr”!

    Cheers

    Not surprised with the number of Nigerians that get on that site as well as all the other scammers. It was just a matter of time…looks like POF is jumping the shark…look THAT one up…
