    Your Site's Longest Downtime with X10?

    I just noticed my site is down right now - kind of annoying, a little scary since it's for business purposes. It's been a good 15 minutes that the server has not been responding so far (at least from when I last noticed). What's the longest you guys have had to wait?

    The server you are on is currently under a DDoS attack.

    Any idea how long it will take before it is back up?

    Is this common? My pc's are clean. What the heck do I do now?

    Is this effecting just me, or many other sites hosted on this same x10 server as well?

    It's all on the server. A DDoS attack is when someone uses 1000's of computers to connect to the server 1000's of time every seconds. Imagine 20 fat ppl trying to get trough one door at the same time

    Ah, I gotcha. Nice analogy ;) LOL I hate when that happens to me when I'm trying to get into Wendys and the tour bus from the Biggest Loser convention stops by.
    Edit:
    Still nothing.

    @mods have you considered installing something to prevent this in the future? I hear this is supposedly very good at stopping these attacks.

    http://www.blockdos.net/ is the only I've heard of, but it's extremely expensive, I think
