Our host, eMax Hosting has just informed Hydrogen that they are cancelling our hosting deal due to a dDOS attack that was brought upon us earlier on. They made it clear that they do not want a site that will si'mply get attacked all the ti'me. Thus, we are moving servers. We will still reside at www.neocodex.us, but we are moving to a different host.

Hydrogen,

We never clai'med "you" were doing DDoS attacks. The statement was "history of DDOS attacks" which refereed to your website as being a target of such actions. The slander on your website about another group/web site/person is against our TOS/AUP and only causes issues.

You say "I am being punished for something I have not done" but what about our other hundreds of clients who are on the same server but may experience slow load ti'mes because your site is being attacked because there is a personal issue with your site and another. Should they pay? Should we spend many more hours of support ti'me to defend the mass amounts of traffic being ported to your site?

Providing DDos support for a website cost a lot more than $5.95 a month. I apologies but our decision is finial. As explained in the last e-mail we are willing to forward your DNS I'mmediately to help lower the possible downti'me when you find another host.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply. Thank you.

Regards,
eMax Client Support

Pack up your things, because we are moving We have approxi'mately 19 hours. Do not be suprised if you see downti'mes.

We already know who attacked us using dDOS methods, and we will investigate this further.

Hey all, it's target practice :devil2:

[ShadowLink64]

BlackHawk, please do not do anything to them...

[Insanedragonz]

ugh..I hate downti'me..!!!
Stupid host..:boxing:

[Hanneh]

Will we be like...keeping the database etc?

[BlackHawk]

BlackHawk, please do not do anything to them...

No, it's not their fault... I actually meant to CENSORED ntwist, as they're responsible for all that

[ShadowLink64]

Thats what I meant also.... lol.. Don't attack NeoTwist anyone!! And yes, we are keeping everything the way it is.

Codex backups will be written every hour until our doom.

[Insanedragonz]

I have move database from 1 server to another server..it takes me up to 3 hours to re-load the back up..

and it also depend on how big is your datbase , table and file...

[Evan]

The thing I dont get is. . . were keeping the same URL, so whats going to change?

[Insanedragonz]

Nothing going to change at all..but there will be some down ti'me in the next day or so..

[BlackHawk]

Don't attack NeoTwist anyone!!

Why? It's all their fault, now they should pay

[ShadowLink64]

We are costing our host too much in upkeep BECAUSE we are too much of a suspectable target of attack. However, the host is taking legal action against the alleged dDOSers.

[Evan]

Well that can't be good.

[ShadowLink64]

I ask of all of you to please do not upload anyting at this ti'me, since I have written a file backup.

[Dan]

BlackHawk. You doing things like that, will put the host, and the site in jepordy. Please, Dont.

However, the host is taking legal action against the alleged dDOSers.

Good, the host should do that if the Dosers are causing them to get rid of paying becausetomers...The attacks should stop, if codex attacks its just gonna cause even more attacks..Who are the alleged dosers anyway?

[Typhoon]

I've had enough of Neotwist, if one of the admins doesn't contact their host and the US authorities I will, this isn't the first ti'me we've been DoS'd and this isn't the first ti'me neo_grl's gotten away with it.

Not that I'll just sit and whatch either... :angry2:

[ShadowLink64]

It is not neo_grl who did this. She has done no illegal moves. It was someone else on NeoTwist I am not naming...

[Silver Ecco]

Hopefully the sever will be as good hardware side and 10 ti'mes better support wise. I know they can't take DOS attacks, but it's not like you guys are sitting around doing nothing about it, your doing as much as 'good morale' allows. Not to bring up 'older' topics...

[Typhoon]

The hard part will be to find a new host on such short notice to mini'mize downti'me.

[Silver Ecco]

Yeah, only 19 hours.. what did they give you 24 hour notice, if so that's BS...

[Dan]

We have found a new host, And contacted them.

[Silver Ecco]

I noticed the server was busy for about 2 hours this morning[est], I dont know if that has to do with the back up or not, just thought it was wierd, will any specs change, space, BW, ect?

[Fox]

Well, that was unexpected for me- I never realised the problems DDOSing can cause for HOSTING. Not that I'm sure exactly what it is... well, hopefully we'll move smoothly, eh?
