Hi.

There are 3 days since Rackshack plays hide-and-seek with me and
the other clients. In these approx. 3 days, their site worked only less that 50%
of the time, and so did mine. Right now, www.rackshack.net is unaccessible,
and so is www.webcab.co.uk (strange, because if I want to enter the Admin
section (it is a Cobalt server), I get the password requesting form, but that's
all). Telnet and FTP work (in a very "special" way, since downloading through
FTP freezes after approx. 2Kb of every file, and so does the telnet
connection, if a larger quantity of data has to transmitted (like opening a
file in an editor, in a big window). Rackshack says that everything is fine. I heard
something about some DDOS attacks (since I cannot access their site, I'm
not sure what the problem is). Their forum is down. Do you know
what's going on ? I think I'll go crazy if you tell me that my site runs OK, like
rackshack says, and I see that it doesn't.

Hope to hear soon from you.

What is your site?

Edit: Disregard that. Webcab works perfectly fine.

G'day adixor,

Both RS and your URL work just fine for me.

Obviously you can't ping or fully traceroute to either ip at the moment since ICMP is being blocked as a result of the DDOS, but your page loads quite swiftly in my browser.

We have a number of servers with RS and we monitor each via http every 2 minutes. Even during the time of the DDOS we were down for only around 12 minutes and even then not on all servers.

The RS forum and online chat are definitely up for me.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

LBJ

It is possible that my ISP here is the problem. Thanks for your time. Bye Bye.

I owe some excuses to Rackshack. I thought that the problem was theirs, but
it is my ISP's problem. Sorry, again.

P.S. By the way, the chat thing is great.
