DDoS.. what a P.I.T.A
Feb 10, 2008 in Misc.
Yeah, starting a few days ago slackadelic.com or at least one of the domains hosted on my server, was hit with a DDoS.. pretty bad one too.
I have to say, kudos, whoever authored the attack.. Amazing how much data a few hosts can send at you in a matter of minutes.. and bring you to your knees. However, the server was only hosted on a 1Mbit line, so instead of taking just my box down, it actually caused issues for the entire provider customer base.
I’ve since migrated to one VPS IP and that got hit as well as DNS migrated… I then moved to a new IP and slowly rolled things over to a proper A record. I really hope that whomever it is is done and I hope that whomever pissed you off, does not do it again as I can not stand to go through that again. I nearly lost my hosting all together because of it.
So, lets just.. move on shall we.
