DNS Issue Today

A lot of people, myself included, have been having trouble accessing VideoSift today. This is due to a recent change in DNS that has resulted in lots of people's web browsers not knowing how to open the videosift.com domain. DNS changes like this take a little while to propagate, so everything should return to normal for the affected users within several hours maximum (hopefully).

If you know folks who cannot access the site, please let them know it's just temporary and for an immediate fix, tell them to Google "how to edit my hosts file" and add the following two lines to the "hosts" file on their computer:

216.18.199.34 videosift.com
108.161.188.128 cdn.videosift.com

[edit]
Now that it looks like our DNS issue is behind us, be sure to remove those lines from your hosts file if you added them. If you don't and we ever change our IP addresses in the future (and we likely will eventually), you will not be able to load videosift again. Don't be the victim of your own success!
