VPSDIME (website) Down? ---DDOS --- Fixed
I couldnt get through to the site. (for a while now). Timed Out
So I checked with gtmetrix as I normally do and the result is as follows
Analysis Error
An error occurred fetching the page: write failed: Connection timed out
Anyone know anything about this
EDIT - I could log into my vps just fine. Apologies for the vague title earlier

Not loading here either. I'm sure @serverian is already working on it.
Yeap.
We got a DDoS. Migrating the website to a DDoS filtered IP now.
Note that only the website is down. No service is affected. I'd appreciate if you can change the title to "VPSDIME WEBSITE DOWN?"
Nothing says 'happy fucking birthday' like a DDoS.
Apologies... Changed
Probably from too much success from your birthday special. Seems like that's a common occurrence here
Before I go on further, I am very new to computing (noob)
was doing a bit of a (after serverian said it was a DDOS) read / view on the internet on DDOSing for the past 15minutes. Is it that simple as that?.
Correct me if I am wrong - Anyone (not necessarily a hacker) with quite a lot of vps's or a Dedi with a lot of ip's and good unmetered & high speed bandwidth can send out DDOS' just like that, if their provider doesn't give a f**k about what happens on their network....can't they?
Kind of, its more common that open resolvers or hi-jacked computers/botnets are utilized (at least in my experience).
Jealousy on LET/B speaks only one language: DDOS
always gotta be some fkn trolls to gatecrash....
Have to say tho, its the first time ive ever seen there main site down,
so at-least i know they are all human, thought the vpsdime team were all robots....
Jealousy DDOS attacks are common for a popular host!
Loading for me now. Just a bit slow thats all...
Client area giving an IonCube error.
EDIT: and fixed :-).
I guess someone got pissed of because of the 7$ offer, like it sometimes happend before when some UK Providers posted deals.
Lol, little more complicated then that ...
What a present for their birthday... It is very sad to see that providers with huge success in this community (like Oktay with his several brands) and with very very good services, are getting hit all the time because of some morons that cannot stand a wealthy competition...
Hey, stupids, whatever you may try to do, this will not harm Serverian (or other respected providers here) reputation.
After a couple of migrations and lots of pain, we have ended up with an OVH server in Canada. The website is back up.
Thank you for your support guys!
Conspiracy time: @serverian is orchestrating these attacks because he doesn't think you guys sent him enough cake for the birthday celebrations.
The method he's doing it is called DoS (ping flooding), and his home connection is garbage, so it will won't affect much unless the host connection is garbage.
Well this is what happens when you DDOS your competitor. He is just reciprocating. What else do you expect?
@elixir404 do you have to post your shi* in every single thread trom 2014?!
What about you stop digging up year old threads for once? It gets extremely annoying and your posts are not even useful in any way.
