Title: My server is down Post by: bvdp on May 10, 2016, 10:17:03 PM 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.
If you have a suggestion for a low-priced web hosting alternative or if you need to contact me please send mail to bobmellowood@gmail.com Title: Re: My server is down Post by: bvdp on May 11, 2016, 12:55:27 AM 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. Title: Re: My server is down Post by: folderol on May 11, 2016, 07:42:28 PM 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 >:( Title: Re: My server is down Post by: bvdp on May 12, 2016, 02:08:45 AM 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 :) |
