| Posted by FRADDRHosting, 01-10-2013, 05:15 PM | | I've been receiving countless amounts of traffic all day targeting my login systems and administration systems, my website is now down? By down I mean it's going straight to "This web page is not available", it came back and went again.
Thank you.

I would suggest fine tuning your iptables firewall(ask your host for that ), and add captcha to login forms( you can do that by yourself ).
also, if you would like to limit the access to a page, you may use .htaccess to block the offending scanners.
