Troy Spiral (13) Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The downtime of DGN yesterday was due to a double-whammy of problems as its been explained to me by IPS staff. (The company that hosts DGN) 1. There was a technical glitch with one aspect of billing (now corrected) 2. The server DGN was hosted on was subject to a denial of service attack. (Now we are on a different server, this attack wasn't directed at DGN , DGN is on a shared hosting server with many other websites) I stayed up fairly late last night trying to not go to sleep until it was resolved. But around midnight I got a note that it was being taken care of but that it would take a few hours. Around 2 am I passed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some pretty good software for implementing that sort of thing. Not that I have illegal software like that saved on a pass-coded hidden external hard drive or anything.

Destroit Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yesterday's downtime? So what's that have to say about today's downtime? Or am I the only one experiencing constant server time outs, "page cannot be found" errors, broken pictures, and all around hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
