At least they're running slow for you. They're flat out down for me again. Going on almost an entire week of problems.....
You know, Cisco DOES sell solutions to help you deal with DDOS attacks. They're not cheap, but they're cheaper than an entire marketplace loosing sales for a week:
the week is a total loss for me, after feeds and hosting costs for existing members and stuff, not having the new sales go through will practically make it a non profit week. i hope ccbill gets their shit together soon. this is horrible
does it feel good to get assfucked, when you're straight?

Dear CCBill,
Communicate with us and you'll receive less SCREAMING phone calls from your TOP clients!
Why is it ALWAYS the same shtick;
"what problem are you having" ....
"we're performing maintenance tonight.."
"can you send us a traceroute?"
"HAHA OKAY HERE YA GO -->

Gee that explains the maintenance 100%. During your DDOS attacks, your hosting company CWIE decided to make routing changes and take us off our "PREMIUM LEVEL 3 bandwidth", & setup peering through a cheap POS line like SAVVIS....
WTG CCBILL , thanks for fewer sales!
Thank G-D for EPOCH!
</rant>
yea who leaps into the void owe no explanation to those who stand and watch...so quit fuckin watchin'!
It's been down all day for us also...How much really do you need to turn over per month to get your own merchant account set up. Non US merchant account that is. Who's reliable, well known and can get us set up with one?
Also ..What's the best cascading system out there ..one that's easy to install.
CCBill/CWIE say everything is just fine....its our XO T-1 that is the problem. Wow, our T-1 cost of 40% fewer sales? Guess it's time to find a new T-1 provider.... :-\
Oh NO wait, wait,I got it, we can go back to a Qwest circuit, and have CWIE as our ISP again, that way our CCBill join forms will ALWAYS pull up!!!
g-damn it feels good to de-virginize my ass.
Thanks again CWIE/CCBill :-D
yea who leaps into the void owe no explanation to those who stand and watch...so quit fuckin watchin'!
thank you ccbill, bravo crew, you guys are amazing. you should listen to your LARGER clients more often, instead of nearly giving us heart attacks and taking years off our lives from the heartache!

I sent them a solution last week that would have got them back up within 3 hours... seems CCBILL did not want to invest the money to keep there clients happy, very strange...
Hey Guys,
Let's try to be a bit more constructive here.
In order to solve the problem, CCbill / Cavecreek needs lots of feedback.
I'm saying this from direct experience in the last days.
Any info you can give them, or post here, is welcomed.
When the signup page is failing, you should send them:
- Your location
- A Traceroute
- Time of failure
- Any other possible useful info
This is the only way that this issue is going to be solved.
If you just post: "Signup pages don't come up", that's pointless.
Signup pages are coming up in Chicago, but not somewhere else.
If they don't know where, they cannot look into the issue.
We're all in the same ship. Any help we can give them, will help resolve the problem.
For example, signups in the last 4 hours have been between fantastic, and very good.
Is it the same for you guys? If not, maybe your traffic is coming from somewhere else.
Please post here, or email them anything useful you have. Trust me, it will help a great deal, and it will fix the problem in 1/10th of the time.
I know that Trizzo is running some script to check for problems, and we're about to do the same thing.

Sales are much better now YEAAA!!
AMEN METSTAFF

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
Kind of hard for me to show a trace route when the problem appears to be intermittent. My numbers alone show that a lot of people aren't making it through the join process I dont have fucking time to baby sit. Redirect to Paycom.
A full fucking week. What a joke.

Don't try to be a smart ass, do you think their network admins don't know that?
What makes you think they don't have CCIEs who know 10fold what you think you know?
How can they not have fixed this mess yet? I can understand if Mensniche is down for a week but CCBill...
DDoSes, on a massive scale, are very hard to deal with. Look at what happened to SCO and windowsupdate - both of those are highly publicized cases that most people should be familiar with. In both cases, there was nothing that either company could do to stay online in the short term - the strategy was to move servers to geographically redundant locations, making use of many upstream providers, and provide each bank of servers with filtering hardware and plenty of bandwidth.
Both the admin and signup pages work for me.... that and I am getting sales. What pages cant you guys load?? Signups or admin?? I have normal sales as well so must be isolated if at all.....

Some people have problems loading anything at all, some people can access it just fine. It appears to be a routing issue, thus the need for the traceroutes.
At least they're running slow for you. They're flat out down for me again. Going on almost an entire week of problems.....
You know, Cisco DOES sell solutions to help you deal with DDOS attacks. They're not cheap, but they're cheaper than an entire marketplace loosing sales for a week:
That only goes up to a gig, you'd need maybe ten of them against a serious DDOS and the bandwidth to feed it. I know they're also a hosting co. but that's a lot of bits for anyone to handle.
There are however companies that specialize in solving these kinds of problems.

I'd like to know exactly how much traffic is causing their problem, and whether its a packetflood or HTTP based attack.

As long as you have some past transaction history of some kind, you can usually be placed with a merchant account. I've placed merchants that do anywhere from 2k a month to 3 mill pm and they've all been happy.
The reason most say you should be doing X amount in volume is because of the monthly fees. There are also sometimes jurisdictional incorporation fees but those are dependant on which banking solution is chosen. At one time the monthly fees were pretty outrageous but times have changed and so have the fees with many banks.
for example:
US merc monthly maintenance - $12 , monthly minimum - $25
Non US monthly maintenance - from $50 -$150, monthly minimum - from $0 to $150 (depending on the bank used)
If you are interested, I'd be happy to talk one-on-one with you to see if we can find a reliable solution for you .. just hit my email anytime
If at first you do succeed - try to hide your astonishment.

We were down for like a week due to a ddos, might even be the same person/company behind it, the point is we came out the other end and in better shape, we have better security in place and we compensated our affiliates for any downtime. Lets see what CCBill do? I send them a solution over a week ago which would have got them up in 3-6 hours, but they have not spent the $$ To do it, this makes me think that customers will be lost.
