Hey,

Today WHT went down for 4Mins and 20 secs , i confirmed it with 5 servers + my desktop pc and when it came up no pages loads for few mins ,

Just wondering if its just me or someone else noticed it too

We are currently under a DDoS, I'm working with RackSpace on mitigating the attack at the moment.

Oh ok , Good luck The Prohacker (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=3051) ,

Let us know how it goes!

It was quite a bit more than four minutes for me, via Comcast in GA.

4Mins was the first one it was ok for quit a bit and again it went down ...

Yep, I logged ~45 minutes total, informally. :s

I see that you are interested in the DDOS tools. I propose you a test on this site. I ll make a port scan too,ddos start in 2 minutes !btw i m fro ro and don`t chek my ip,its a proxy.

I see that the post was removed while I was reading it.... I agree with what you called that individual 100% :agree:

Much more than 4 mins...

Much more than 4 mins...

1 hour 39 minutes and 14 seconds to be exact

I can't believe how stupid people can get. He actually ddos'ed wht just to show he could do it.

I do have question. I do know inet has pretty large setup within rackspace and it seems WHT gets ddos every now and than too. There are 2 providers well very well known to provide ddos protection which really works going by the reviews. Why doesn't inet consider getting servers with them?

Rackspace might have a very reliable network however the amount of downtime due to ddos attacks and the work involved is a lot too...I do feel inet should consider one of those two providers.

I doubt those two providers could provide anything close to the cluster WHT has now. Rackspace does a fair bit more than we all think they do, and although WHT does go down a few more times than I'm sure anybody would like, look at its uptime. This is a huge forum, and so far Rackspace has been doing pretty well.

There are plenty of big providers out there and I am prety sure many providers will be able to provide the setup inet has definitely the two providers I was hinting toward.

anyway it was just a question/suggestion mix after all downtime does cost money.

But will they be able to provide the SLA, or the remote hands (I'm sure ProSlacka can call Rackspace in a second and have them do whatever he wants/needs)? My point is, there are many other things you have to consider besides the obvious. I'm not saying Rackspace is the perfect WHT host, in fact I have my own ideas of where I would host WHT, but I think that for now, Rackspace is doing fine.

Gigenet's ProxyShield may be a good investment, as it wouldn't involve moving any hardware, etc.

Why do so many people attack this server??

WHT and INET have done NOTHING to anyone!!!! -- Why the continuous attacks??

:confused:

Why go out and have fun when you can sit home DDoSing random servers? It doesn't even compare! :agree:

When it first started I was thinking my service provider is having problems again ;-)

Didnt take to long to find out its something else. I wish Inet interactive good luck in their fight against those DDOS attacks. THose can be quite annoying.

Why spend time trying to stop a site from loading??? It makes no sense!!

Dont these isiots have anything better to do??

Clearly not! I gave up trying to post yesterday in the end. They really do need to get a life don't they?

Its just STUPID!!!!!

Because it's the way some people have fun.

For instance, I like to ride ATVs. This person prefers to stop a site and watch hundreds get angry.

Let them have their fun we still have The Prohacker (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=3051) :P

It is likely because WHT host with rackspace. There are a few members here who have dedicated their lives to bashing rackspace in these forums. If you are looking to investigate, I'd start with those clowns..

-NavidJust curious... is there really a need to make a post/thread every time WHT goes down? If it's down, they're working on it.

No i was just wondering .. sorry ,
