httpme.com has been down 30 min.
Anyone know what is happening?
Posted by jagarco, 07-21-2012, 08:28 PM
I can´t access my sites nor their site.

So I can't communicate with them
Posted by jagarco, 07-21-2012, 08:39 PM
I´m starting to get nervous.

Could someone contact HTTPME or someone from there so they can inform us the status?
Or is there another channel to contact httpme?

We can't communicate with httpme

I just had the first customer call.

Bluewho is also down. I have emailed Steve, but so far no response...but I don't know if his email is routing.
Tracerts appear to be dying at their edge router.

I still can't access httpme.com, but I am starting to see some of my sites responding again. Don't know if they're coming up slowly or just a fluke.

Hi Guys,

Currently, we are in the process of mitigating a 14Gb/s DDOS attack. Notifications are going out as we speak, as we anticipate this to be resolved in about 10 minutes or so. We are posting updates on our offsite server (httpme.net) .

Greetings...just checking on this...first time I've seen this with httpme.com. Normally legendary uptime etc. for last 10 years! Is that Steve from httpme.com that just replied? Send Aussie Bob an email to for help if could reach Steve directly. Can't find a twitter feed either. Keep us posted!

I have accounts on 4 different servers and they all seem to be responding much better now. Thanks Steven and team.

The attack has been mitigated, sorry about that guys! 14Gb/s is an insane DDOS..

Also, please makes sure httpme.net is checked as it's hosted offsite so we can maintain contact with clients in the event of any issues.

Yeah, that's a pretty good one. I guess it's good experience...

It came from over 100k UNIQUE IPs, different places, countries, etc... It was major.
