I've been trying to get to my sites at HM for the past 30 minutes to no avail.
Seems as if their site is down too.
http://hostmatters.com/
Anyone have any news?

I'm having no problem getting to their site or yours.

I can reach both, too.

MY site is down as well and has been for a couple hours...
Anyone else have a hosting matters site or know of any current issues/outages?

My site is also with a hostingmatters resller and they're down too. Availabliy is hit-miss... One second it works, next second, gone.
I cant reach any of their sites, but the Peak10 site is up.

I am unable to connect to anything over there .. did a traceroute and it dies inside of peak-10 -- perhaps a router problem??
Anyways. . anyone have the remote status page address? I seem to have misplaced it.. wonder if there is any info on there??? I'm just waiting for the customers to call.. grr..

This was just posted on their emergency-support forum:
We have confirmed that the tonight's trouble is being caused by a DDOS attack. We are working as fast as possible to get things back up. We will post more information as we have it.

DoH! Hate DDOS attacks ... PITA.

People who DDOS others should be shot, and the event should be televised globally so all of humanity can share in the joy.

My site hosted there is down since last 2.5 hours as per website pulse.
I think their forums used to be hosted on http://forums.hostmatters.com but now that is also down.

Looks like my site is back up online.
|
| Posted by helzerman, 01-08-2005, 03:48 AM | |
My site was up for about a half hour, but now its down again.
They have an additional forum for emergency support that's really good.
the forum software won't let me post a link (yeesh)....so forgive the spaces....

The URL is http://www.hmdnsgroup.net/forums/ (http://www.hmstatus.com will currently get you to a one line page that links there as well).

There don't seem to be any messages on the above site. Nor any explanation why LGF is still down. And the moderators make themselves unavailable for information unless one registers to the forum.

They clear out all of the messages after each incident is over.
