1k not all at once. im using a PTC siteAre you sure, you set up everything correctly? This sounds more like an SSL error or the DDOS protection might have kicked in, if you sent that 1k traffic all at once.
Weird, i've never heard anything bad about them. I have 15 domains with them for over 2 years now, never had a single issue. They're cheap, reliable and easy to use.
