My server host is experiencing a DDoS attack. Not just my site, but the entire site's web servers. I have no idea what the issue is ... but my site (and email) as been out of service now for a day or so.

And no sooner than one complains ... it appears the server is back up and running. Wow, never thought I'd miss email this much.

The host promises that they are transferring to a different server farm which has better DDoS protection. Hopefully this will not happen again.

Glad it's sorted (for now at least).
Unfortunately this sort of thing is getting steadily more common. I'm seeing all sorts of sites getting DDOSed with no apparent rhyme of reason Angry

So, this was a very frustrating few days. Server down. Server up. Server down. ... Host promises fix ... no fix.

So, I moved my site to a different host. It will take a few hours for the dns stuff to propagate though the net, but it's working for me now (6PM PST, May 1). So, if you can't access my site, please wait a few more hours. It's really, really coming Smiley
