There are reports about Virpus's website and client area being down over at Lowendtalk: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion...virpus-is-down

Can anyone confirm if there VPS containers may be offline?

I am not a customer, but right now I can confirm there website is not loading.

Site is still not resolving - I hope those techs from hostbluff get there quick to help out!

Yup, still not resolving. But I'm not having any services with them atm. Would it be because the server problem, or with the CloudFlare?

FWIW according to reports on LET people are saying its been down since morning. If that is the case then it'd be down for a near 24 hours, since its already past midnight as of now.

Considering the extended length of this outage of there corporate website, I am shocked to see that they are providing no updates on there Twitter or Facebook profile.

virpus.com seems up to me.

It looks like they are back up and online.

Yes they are apparently back online.

I can also confirm that I am receiving the following error when clicking on "Client Area" on myvirpus.com

Our site was under a DDoS attack that started around 6 PM yesterday and continued overnight. We did make some DNS changes, which should now be in affect.

I will also look into the error being reported here regarding the redirection issue with Firefox.

Thanks.

Also, forgot to mention - no other services were affected by this. Virpus's website being down would have no impact on any other VPS server.
