It's a very sad say.

loreen · 04-08-2007, 02:38 AM

.. al my sites hosted with dreamhost are running just fine...

OneWhoKnows · 04-08-2007, 02:38 AM

Well guys - I know that doesn't help you a bit, but... Good that I moved away from DH in January

For real, if I were you, I'd think about moving. I moved to Webair and my traffic increased immediately - because all those small downtimes (which you don't even realize if you don't use a monitoring tool) Dreamhost has all the time were gone. Just a hint

Happy Easter!

ichauch · 04-08-2007, 02:42 AM

I'm with webair, too, and my opinion is opposite to yours. Just a hint, too.

chaze · 04-08-2007, 02:43 AM

Loads for me o.k.

If you have any probs with your Webair account, why don't you hit up Mike? He's usually very helpful and if your problems persist, I'm sure he'd even move you to another cluster or even server!

yep, i have had a monitor on one of my dreamhost sites. it aint pretty.

Looks like a DOS attack. Even their emergency status page is hard to get to. They've upgraded the Severity Rating from Medium to High.

Here's the latest update:

"UPDATE (2007-04-08 03:20 PDT): It appears we are the victims of an Easter DOS attack against our nameservers, we have an admin at the datacenter and our network expert onhand to deal with it. Hopefully things will be back to normal shortly."

That is why dreamhost should be avoided.

because they are under attack? so if someone slams you with so much data your arsehole falls out. your customers should leave oc3?

ichauch · 04-08-2007, 05:19 AM

I agree. If their servers were under attack, it clearly is not their fault.

Dreamhost have improved tremendously in the past year. Especially their ticket support is great.

Buncha · 04-08-2007, 05:23 AM

Looks like the issue is resolved. Here's the latest update at their emergency status page:

"UPDATE (2007-04-08 04:54 PDT): We seem to have isolated and resolved the DoS attack for the moment. All of our DNS servers have been resolving domains correctly and without pause for the past 20 minutes now so it appears that this nasty episode is behind us. We?ll be mopping up and fixing servers that might?ve crashed or otherwise gone wonky in the interim. Again, our sincerest apologies for all the downtime."

ichauch · 04-08-2007, 05:28 AM

Yep. Just checked some of my sites, they are back up again. I can reach dreamhoststatus again now, too.

Kudos to dreamhost.

You should look into Neustar Ultra Services for DNS-best in mitigating against DDOS-never had an outage-get in contact with me if you want to learn more.
