From Jodohost.com earlier tonight. We lost all of our sites for about 20 minutes and there were a few other brownouts.

We are currently (8:32PM EST Dec 20,2007) taking a large DDoS attack with over a million packets per second and over 1 gigabit per second of transfer. We are working with upstream providers to block this before hitting our network as quickly as possible!

Are there ways of preventing this sort of thing without downtime? Anything you would have done different?

I would post their forum, where they explained in more detail, but not sure if that crosses the line for gfy.
