Sorry guys..My website is down.

[Mntsnow]

Just as the title states. It's off-line right now and I have emailed my HOSTING service provider to find out what is wrong. Sorry to say but all my links will be dead until they fix the problem.

Until then you can access the "stripped" down version that is hosted by my ISP.

for SHAME Mntsnow, for shame!

we shall never turn to you for help again http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

So its a host-wide thing? not just yours that went down?

[Mntsnow]

At this moment I dont know if it's a HOST wide thing as I am able to get to my hosting services website but am unable to get my website http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif I have emailed them and they will be checking for hack attacks of course. To me it looks like a DOS type of attack.

Well everyone it's back up now http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

All I can say is they have a lead and are tracking it down http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Sorry about the problem you had, but that puts your site right up there with Yahoo and Amazon. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif You selling any shares?

LOL Dave....I could sure use a bump up in my "stock prices" http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Well the final update for tonight. My site was down for a total of 3.5 hours give or take a bit. It WAS a "DoS" type of attack. They did capture a "log" as I have "stats" information so of course I have full logging avaliable. They are going thru the logs and will be following up on this.

Needless to say...I must have stepped on someone's toes this morning http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif and they decided to take it out on my website LOL

Was it a DoS attack aimed specifically at your website, or aimed at your host in general?

[Mntsnow]

ME http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

They had no other interruptions they said.

[welsh wizard]

What did you do to it?, or was it just one of those things.

Glad your back up and running, fast to.

Mntsnow,
Have you found out what exactly happened here?Has your service been able to track it down yet?
Curious as who would have done something like this.
Regards,

All I'm able to say is at this time the Hosting service is still "looking at what they will do" http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif They have some leads as to where it possably came from and say they are still intending on following thru with any legal action that may be warranted.
