same here, says "error" on every site

[Edder]

Same here, I'm getting that error as well.

[Shaggy]

Man, are they getting attacked again?

[Bender]

seems like it.
hopefully namedriver can update us on the issue.

I think it's because of the attack. Last time I received the same error during attacks.

[NameDriver]

I'm getting reallly tired of this. Obviously some people have no idea of Christmas cheer. We are doing everything we can to get over this again.

People are obviously making a concerted effort to carry out their evil plan to put us out of business by 2006, so please don't move any domains away or see us as the bad guys on this issue as that is precisely what these idiots want to achieve. We have carried out significant measures to ensure that this sort of thing doesn't affect us, but the attacks have been getting bigger and bigger and ever-more aggressive. Some people obviously just can't deal with competition on a level playing field and have to resort to this.

Sorry everryone, we will be back up as soon as possible and make sure that we are, again, the only ones who end up losing out in this matter.

Merry Christmas.

Same thing by me as well.
Our Database servers are restarting. Please check back in a few moments...

Ed, aren't there any legal actions that can be taken? The best thing in any market is competition. Trying to eliminate competition like this will destroy this market.

I'm with NameDrive forever, no worries Pal.

[chupacabra]

It's back up now. It was still down when I went to bed last night. Does anyone know how long it was down for?

I just parked my best domain there 10 minutes before it went down. :(

Hello Ed,

I for one am willing to take a hit for the day, and stay with Namedrive. Overall, your service out pays the others for me.

Do you have an ETA of when the current stats will be back online? Stats for today show zero.

Thanks,
Brian

[Sarcle]

Yes, please keep us updated on what's happening.

[maxo]

The parking pages are working fine at the moment

no good no good

me not like namedrive's problems

[NameDriver]

Hi guys,

Sorry for my silence. I've been travelling for 10 hours to get down to snow-bound Austria and spending the following 3 hours trying to get the Internet up in one of Europe's most third-world countries.

The attack has again been repelled, the stats are being updated as we speak. Sorry again for my silence and for the continued nastiness being directed our way.

I'll be more responsive tomorrow once I've slept and found out how Austrian internet works.

Thanks for your support, this is horribly frustrating for us as we don't feel we've deserved wave after wave of attack. It is certainly looking like paying the money to bring these people to justice is the only way to go. An investment, but one that should hopefully prove to be worth it.

Have a great Christmas Eve. I'll be around all through the festive period...

Ed

Thanks for the update Ed, something definately has to be done about this and this cannot go on any further. Please I trust that you will do whatever it takes to stop these guys.

that's too bad you guys keep getting attacked, I like namedrive alot. (definately the best interface of all the ppc services) i hope you find the a-holes that are doing it

[domaister]

I wish to know which competitor PPC has commissioned all those attacks!

I'm sure all of us would BOYCOTT them...
