Outage shuts Netflix Web site for 12 hours
Company mum on cause of outage; site restored
By Agam Shah
March 25, 2008 (IDG News Service) The Web site of popular online movie rental company Netflix Inc. suffered an outage early yesterday, but the site was back up this morning.
The Web site went down at 7 a.m. Pacific time, said Steve Swasey, a company spokesman. Netflix declined to comment on reasons for the outage. The site was down for about 12 hours, and Netflix missed its deadline for mailing a shipment of movie rentals, which will instead be mailed today, CNET reported.
It was an unplanned outage and "very rare," Swasey said. An outage like this hasn't happened to Netflix in a long time, he noted.
The outage is especially frustrating because Netflix prides itself on providing good customer service to users, Swasey said. About 90% of its customers said they were satisfied with the company's service in a Nielsen survey conducted in December 2007.
Netflix offers DVDs and streaming movies to about 8 million customers. The company recently added a movie-streaming service for game consoles.
Netflix, a popular online video rental site, was unexpectantly shutdown yeaster from an outage. Because of the outage, Netflix missed it's deadline to mail orders to its costumers. Though it was out for about 12 hours, it is now back up today and will mail the orders today. Netflix is becoming excreasing popular especialy for users who are too busy to shop at video stores such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Unlike those companies, Netflixs knows that our society is getting closer to a more digtal world. Soon, everything may be bought online and there may not be a need for physical stores and physical employees.
