[neopixels]

[Jim Nayzium]

[neopixels]

Am a reseller

[opt2004]

Vortech's site is running fine but everybody else's sites are down.

[broderickp]

could we get an update on what is going on and a timeframe?

Thanks

if this is a DoS then the servers need constant attention as it is not just a fix and your done, it could get very ugly with multiple up and down time [no sex jokes please]. Remember if you are a reseller and have 200 clients - have a bit of patience. VT is probably getting 10 fold what you are experiencing.

I have been following this since 10 EST last night and the boys are doing a great job.

(for those on nt44/45, those are some dogs there, god bless you)




cognet -10 bucks per megabit and all DoS training you'll ever need.
long live Level3 and dark cable.

i just know about few massive ddos attack which begin wihtin a last week. One of out customer on dedicated server ddosed with 60 mbit "poison dns" ddos attack. two other - same type of attack with power more than 2 Gbit. This type of attck is hard to block, because attack become to nameservers, not to just ip. hope that here we see another type of attack...

Im a dedicated and a reseller client and it is all down.

I am getting bombarded with calls, but I'm sure VT is getting it worse.

he11 yes, the DoS on root servers are the worst.

odd- the Nagios monitor page says all except nt31 are fine- switches are all ok, and unix28 is all green... yet my site on unix28 is not reachable.

is the nagios site the place to watch for status, or something else?

[flashpoint]

Sorry, I know you are working on the issue.

The only reason that I take offense is because I also have some other sites at another hosting company and I haven't had issues in years. They have a pretty similar setup to Vortech at a few dollars more per month without the problems. Pretty much an Apples to Apples comparison. If I were Vortech's management, i would be very concerned that these issues keep surfacing. There is only so much that customers will take.

The bottom line is that I just can't keep having outages and customers breathing down my back each time something like this occurs.

everything seems to be back up fine again.

thanks

Thanks for your understanding. The phone rang off the hook last night, I would get off one call, and would have 2 more lined up, along with 5 php live messages. We are doing the best we can, as quickly as possible, so everyone please be patient with us.
