Sites offline

[koba]

Everything looks fine now. Thanks for your help, Matt - probably some local problem here with our internet provider - i´ll PM the details - sorry for the post...

I strongly recommend Bodis - especially Bodis works great with IDNs - contrary to 0-1centNamedrive...

Since Friday?

Can you please PM me your ip address, user agent, and account email?

The sites were online since Friday. We just had a short outage this morning. If you can't access the sites since Friday it may be something to do with your connection to the server.

We have an automated system in place that blocks robots at the DNS level. I am hoping that you did not get caught up in this system somehow. I will need your ip address to check. It would only affect robots that are making hundreds of requests to the server or potentially members that have refreshed a landing page a few hundred times within minutes.

Also, for every unexpected outage we have, we credit back all revenue with a 10% on top of that for the inconvenience. Normally we haven't had outages for half a year. Today we've had been hit with an on-going DDOS attack on our application. The servers are up and running, but we will be crediting revenue for the downtime, with a 10% extra.
