My websites appear offline. Anybody else had any issues? I just submitted a support ticket a few minutes ago, and am awaiting for a response. Basicstate sent the offline alert a half hour ago.

Looks like the server I am on became unresponsive, they were able to reboot it. They said they are still investigating.

On the bright side, I know what server I am on now, lol.

Seem like they have posted a thread in their forum not long after you submit your ticket:-

Yeah they sent it after I submitted my ticket. It appears my site is back down. Whatever is causing the problem is not letting up I guess.

I dont really anything important online atm, so its not a super big deal, although I was going to test some scripts later, but I am sure they will get it working asap. I signed up with them, because they have a solid reputation.

The Venus server is under a DDoS attack casusing server issues. We're currently working on getting this filtered and services restored.

So that guess that answers the question as to what is causing the issues.

DDOS attacks are lame, people need to grow up, lol.

My understanding is it has been resolved.

Two different servers in 24 hours have been hit by large ddos attacks... Targets were totally unrelated. People need better things to do then ddos web sites. Or at least give us the heads up we'll put the cisco guard in front and use other mitigation techniques to make it's effect less severe. Can dream right?
