Bit unfortunate that having transferred to the new server very recently that it's my main website that's been hit by these problems, it wouldn't have mattered so much if it had been any of my other ones. I know you guys are working round the clock, so I'll sit tight and wish you good luck...

Thanks Akshay.

Any updates Jodohost? It's been 8.5 hours - I've no doubt you're working hard on it, but I was asked to check the forums for updates, and there's been nothing for many hours.

At least 5.5 hours downtime here. Assuming we're affected by the same issues I was told it would be resolved about 30 minutes ago. I guess the problems are taking longer than anticipated. :(

Most my sites are working, but my main website (my livelihood one) is down. I'm on live chat, and they told me it may take some time, sorry for the inconvenience. Don't know if it's related to the packetlosses and DDOS attacks, but I hope it doesn't persist too long.

I'm all out of ideas once. A year ago Chinese hackers were able to access my website and upload files via FTP to promote a bogus clothing business. Last week they did the same thing. All my passwords (and I use a different one for every aspect of the site) are totally random and unguessable. I...

It seems to be the same 32 images that are hit constantly (these do not appear on Wordpress), so I am putting back the other images and am refraining from putting the 32 that are constantly hit for the moment. Log files are still huge, and are showing the same images being requested from these...

Thanks Atul. There was the suggestion it might be connected to WordPress, but all the images that are targeted in the log files, are only used on my main website, and have no connection at all with the Wordpress blog which is just a smaller part of the site as a whole. I did update WP yesterday...

Thanks Atul, I did contact customer services nearly 22 hours ago, and again 12 hours ago asking for their kind and immediate attention in light of what is happening, but I haven't had any response to my latest pleas for help. My ticket number is RS #BDF-48833-584. I came here because I could see...

I will check my log file shortly (slow internet, so takes ages to download given its size), have just gotten up. I was hoping renaming the images folder temporarily would stop all the tiny files from being constantly downloaded. I'm assuming you were able to see some of the logs for my Paris...

Hi Stephen, thanks for the reassurances. I'm a little nervous about putting things back until there's a solution at hand. I've been with Jodohost for many, many years now, so I assume it's Windows 2003, but I'm not entirely sure where it shows the server info? On my reseller account it simply...

Despite blocking all these hundreds of IP's my bandwidth usage has soared since this morning. I dread to think what it might be tomorrow morning. I did write to support over 12 hours ago, but haven't received any response yet. I fear I will have to pull my website completely when I wake up in...

Hi Stephen, thanks for the reply. There's no sign that they're hotlinked. Unfortunately I'm on Windows, otherwise I would have used htaccess to prevent other sites from hotlinking. If I can't find a solution before I start paying for each additional gigabyte, I think I am going to have to pull...

Yesterday I had 27 unique visitors to my site. I checked my log file which is now huge, and the images on my site are being hit almost every second of the entire day, relentlessly. The IP addresses are almost all unique, so I've been trying to compile a massive list to import into the Web...
