Tbird is currently under a dos aimed at apache. The dos is coming from random ip addresses that change with every hit. It's directed at the servers main ip which means there's no way of knowing what site the attacker is after.

We hope to have apache backup shortly.

It is a incoming syn flood with over 1200 requests per second. We bounced back all port 80 requests which made them move on for the time being.

Has this issue been resolved then? I can't seem to access any of my sites on tbird right now...or for the past 2 hours.

PS: www.siteuptime.com is a free service

if your a reseller u should look into it

Keep in mind that the free service just monitors every half hour, so if the site was down from 11:00 to 11:02 and it happened to check at 11:01, it will report that the site was down for a half hour when it was actually only 2 minutes. If that happens a couple of times a month, it can really skew the uptime report.

My account is currently down again. Would this be due to this matter again? It is unfortunate this is happening now because I have only just had my reseller account for a month now. I know this may be out of your hands, but still, it's disappointing.

it would be good if we could be moved to another server, or even a bit more securaty on the server.

99.9% uptime guarantee ??????

Its down again - service status currently shows apache has failed

Mr Self Destruct · #10 11-23-2004, 06:11 AM

I'm sorry to say this but should this happen again in the next couple of days, I am going to consider hosting elsewhere. I'm not paying hostgator for downtimes.

Mr Self Destruct · #11 11-23-2004, 06:14 AM

Right, it's up now. That was quick.

Graham · #12 11-23-2004, 06:21 AM
