Seems like Hostgator is being DDOSED..

Bluehost and HG is owned both my EIG so it must be against the company rather than a sub company

Yupp that's my fear. Someone is doing it and that person has a lllooot of power to say the least...

I had the same problem at Fatcow when they got hammered with a DDoS a few months back. Worse, that was accompanied by a massive hacking effort on all my hosted blogs with over a 100,000 hits on my admin pages. Most of those attacks originated from servers within Russia and the Ukraine. Don't know the true source of the attacked though.

Surely, but HG is upto the mark as I have seen in my life. HG won't let you down. They have the money to buy solid workstations that can almost survive anything.
Unless the DDOS attack is eating upto 10 TB bandwidth in 1 hr ofcourse...but tell me, who has the resource to do that against them ?

and yeah... also forgot to mention the fact that they will instantly ban a IP who is doing the DDOS. unless that DDOS is distributed, it cannnot stand against them (or against any big player like HG or GD for example)

You sound like an IT guy. So I'm going to tell you the same thing I say to them.

You think like a textbook.

No offense intended of course, as I say the same thing to them.

A well known established comoany as hostgator should not even consider to be DDOSED.
They should be able to take best measures to prevent an attack like this.

Haha I am lol...
I think we have the same point though...

Some fucking bastard is doing it who has a lot of power. This guy just wants HG and Bluehosts to be called as shit companies.. Whomever that guy might be..


No offense against you too man

It makes me think of th3j35t3r, but I highly doubt he's interested in a hosting company.

My dedicated server is running fine. My shared hosting accounts are a little on the slow side but still up....
