Crazy Downtime [Updated]

[goughy000]

If you've been experiencing some downtime over the last few days its due to various ddos attacks on the hardware the VPS is on.

I'm working with the hosts to try and get this fixed but progress is slow and apparently they cant auto detect ddos attacks although I dont think it would be too hard if you knew what you we're doing.


UPDATE:

Jeff, VPSLand Support Wrote:We just verified this was a DDOS attack on our upstream bandwidth provider. They've stopped the attack on their side and everything is back to normal on our side as well. This was not an attack on us or our network, but rather something upstream beyond our control.

Thanks for your understanding and we're working with them to ensure this ceases permanently.
