Jesus Christ, FIX the technical issues!

For real man, took several attempts to log in just now.

Just stop whining
DDOS attacks are difficult to deal with.
Be thankful this site has decent IT whereas the other site is weaker and has more of these issues.

I'm not whining, I'm complaining. And I'm not concerned about the other site, it has nothing to do with the issues on this site.

Lieutenant,
Did you miss the part about DDOS attacks?
It's a war zone on the internet.
A few of the banks I do business with have doubled their budgets for IT staff for network and fraud control issues.
And my outfit has spent significantly to upgrade our hotel systems which include credit card processing. We have had DDOS attacks as well from a-holes trying to scrape client credit card numbers and data.

Quit your bitchin'. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

I'm complaining about technical issues, so according to you I expect everything for free and should move out of the country. That's some genius logic there. Did you study under Aristotle?

I was responding to a thread, typed up my response, press reply and site went off, had to try several times to get back on and ended up having to start over again.

This site - is it on a shared server or stand alone bare metal?

Who is the hostinc company?

What provisions if any do they offer for protection against DDOS & other attacks?

I ask because a DDOS should be handled at their firewall level, with whatever leaking over is handled by the site firewall.

If they are overwhelmed to the point what spills over is taking down this site or causing it to not meet the 5 nine's then something ELSE is going on.

I am wondering if this site and the other site are not hosted at the same data center in the same IP block (can research that later)
