Win14 shared IP Null routed - working on resolution

Win14's shared IP was null routed by carriers upstream in order to prevent further problems, we attempted a number of resolutions before taking this step but the attacks continued regardless of actions taken.

We are working to find the targeted site and move other sites to a new shared IP to correct this but it will take a number of hours. Sites on a dedicated IP will be working fine, but we do not encourage you to move to a dedicated IP as DNS updates alone will take time, we will be working to force out new DNS updates after changing the IP or finding another resolution in the meantime.


Sounds like they are right on top of it.... theres no way to effectively counter a DDOS because say for instance you get linked from a high traffic blog, well, your effectively being DDOSed as well with real traffic.

If your thinking of moving to another provider based on this, well, might want to wait it out and see what happens first.
