My website is still only intermittently available. What is the current status of the issue?

Brian, I think this attack is still ongoing as at 11:40 am. The status monitor is only showing one server as being up and running. All of my Blacknight hosted websites are currently down. Looking forward to an update.

Keith, there was another flood of traffic at aprox 11.40 which was then resolved at 11.49 as described above. Network stability has been restored. If you have any issues with your website currently please email support and we will look into it asap.

I'm scared about the number of DDoS attacks (and network problems) that BN is having in the last months...

Thinking seriously about switching my sites to another hosting provider :(

Hi
