Hello. I'm getting this error. Possible DD-OS report. Could someone explain to me what is happening, What can I do to prevent it from happening again and how to fix it?


We have just received a HUGE (over 3GB/s incoming traffic) DDoS attack targeting the Server #9. Our CISCO guard firewall was unable to handle such attack, so one of the server IP address - was disabled (all the rest websites on this server are working fine).<br /> <br /> If your website is using this IP (due to unique IP rotation system only 3% websites are using this IP) it will be unavailable for the next 6 hours. As soon attack will subside, this IP address will be enabled and your website will start working again. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is an information of you host telling one of its servers is getting attacked. If your website is located on said server your website may be slow or down at all. It doesn't mean you are getting attacked. And it doesn't affect you when your website is on a different server.

Hi thank you for replying.

I'm getting connection issues and I think that's the cause of the problem.
My error message is

Then all you can do is wait for your host to get the server back up.

I doubt it. There are probably many other sites on the same server as you. Unless you run a hacking forum, I bout you're the one getting attacked.
