Still 1-2 hours ? I don't believe it ... we will see.

I would think they are worried about making sure the whole is patched before bringing anything online, including the main page.

message from RCN for those who are affedted:

Quote:

We are writing this letter to inform you that a very targeted
malicious attack took place on our network this morning at 6AM EST.
As a result, most of our server operating systems have been corrupted
resulting in the current downtime. However, we have access to all
backups and have already figured out a strategy for bringing your
servers back up, and have all hands on deck working to restore
service. We will continue sending progress updates, and will be
notifying you personally once your service is restored. We would like
to thank everyone for being so understanding and patient as we work to
bring everything back to normal.

We have updated the call in number to go to cell phones so if you are
calling into the support line: 866-726-4678 you should be reaching
someone most of the time.

If not please wait 5 mins and try again.

Currently we have backups for the majority of the content and are
working to finalize the restore process. At which point we will be able
to provide more accurate ETAs on service restoration.

TheSenator · 10-16-2010, 02:49 PM

I panic if my site is down for more than a minute. I can only imagine the horror some people are going through right now.

Sending good vibes to restore everything back to normal.

it's not out of your hands since you own the domains but guess you didn't have an off-site backup with another online company.

We do keep off-site backups but they only backup once per month (in case of something catastrophic like RCN blows up) and it's not as easy as flicking a switch to get them running. We're better off waiting for RCN.

Tippy · 10-16-2010, 04:09 PM

I'm seeing a lot of these sites/domains going nowhere, you should set something up and redirect your domains. Seems crazy to just leave your sites/domains dead for this amount of time.

Just wanted to add, as mentioned, do you think its a good idea to host a legit site on a server hosting illegal tubes, seems risky these days considering.

Jdoughs · 10-16-2010, 04:18 PM

The consequences will never be the same.

Abbie · 10-16-2010, 04:18 PM

you can't cause as soon as switch the dns it will start propagating to another server, can take 2 days for then when it's restored it will take just as long to switch back so instead of 24 to 36 hours downtime you end up doubling it.

AliGbone · 10-16-2010, 04:50 PM

dis is so year 2000. respectable hosts shouldn't go down like this now-days. not to mention dis is why with my host i have redundancy to all my shizz on the cloud, if my shits in ny goes down it autofails to my servers located in amsterdam, my host has multiple datacenters.

if yer shits is critical to your livlihoods like mine host it wit established professionals

say what you want but my shitz up!

If i am not wrong dns update can be drastically speed up if you set very low TTL in your dns records.

kichi · 10-16-2010, 05:00 PM

so they have to reconfigure every single server and email account for every single client of theirs? that will take months! I am so fucked here.

I'm serious, you really need that many servers to host their enormous sites

They have xvideos, xnxx.com and many other sites.

Several of them are in alexa top 1000 and xvideos is around #50 site of the world

Yes, you're right. Thats why I always use a low TTL and hosted DNS. DNSMadeEasy.com is awesome!

epitome · 10-16-2010, 07:12 PM

To those that are saying they should have one flip backup hosts and all of that other BS.

Stop trolling.

These companies are not Bank of America.

This has happened exactly once. One or two days of down time costs a lot less than redundant hosting.

Get real. Off-site backups is all you need. If things go past 48 hours then they can look into having another company bring them back up from a backup.

By the sounds of it I've experienced more downtime with Gmail and Facebook than RCN customers. If those companies can survive it, RCN customers can.

Perspective, people, perspective.

You are correct ... once propagated, you set them back to a default value.

Hey, quote this, its rare for me!

Fuck you, asshole. I dare you to say that to my face as I have been boxing for nine months.

While you may have no character or respect for others, that doesn't give you the right to judge mine. PR stunts are for pussies with time on their hands. I leave more business in my inbox due to time constraints than most competitors have altogether.

That said, while I myself would never expect a similar offer if I was in that situation, I can imagine their horror and sympathize enough with the problem and its implications where yes, I would drop things to help.

I might not be the richest guy in the room but I work hard, sleep well at night.. and have tremendous karma from a lot of good deeds.

Brad

P.S. - I advised an RCN customer earlier to wait it out rather than me whore it out - by their own admission, stellar service for years already. If I knew the owner, I would have called already to ask in person and off the boards.
