- Servers were okay, it was the DNS server that got swamped.
- I am sorry for the downtime- hopefully you didnt even notice
- I have faced challenges like domain name hijacking, sql injection , malicious WP plugins and thats why shifted to a professional hosting. I stand by my vendors and their professional judgement, moving away would mean the hackers won.
- This was very clever to swamp the DNS provider- my compliments to the tech talent behind this.
- You would think that every webmaster would have a back up plan in case his site went dDOS, but surprisingly even corporate websites dont have a back up (under attack) plan
