Message

We are currently experiencing severe issues on our network due to some form of denial of service attack

Our technical team are working on it and we will update you as soon as we know more

Update 13:30: We've had the DDOS blocked by 2 carriers so far and we're hoping the rest will get it sorted shortly.

Update: 13:40: All carriers have blocked the DDOS for us at this stage. It was targeted at 1 IP address of one of our VPS customers. Having discussed this with the customer it looks like their VPS was hacked and this may have attracted the DDOS.

Status as of 13:50: All Clear
