I suppose there's a chance that the same idiot CVPS resellers who think Buffalo is the same as NYC (which is 350 miles away) could also think Buffalo is the same as Berkshire (which is 3500 miles away) and regard any LEB host in Berkshire as a competitive threat. //sarcasm end
To clarify, ChicagoVPS does not have any interest in the UK VPS market, nor do we have plans to expand to the UK anytime soon. We are staying out of that territory. Way back in 2012 I believe Chris and Luc were working on considering this but found the remote nature of it very inconvenient and therefore giving us less control over our hardware in emergency situations. Maybe in the future we'll consider it though, who knows, but we certainly have no plans for it now because of the concerns we have regarding the distant remote nature of it.
Please leave our company out of StormVZ's thread to remain respectful to both parties.
Haha, classic.
Do you ever press the datacenter for information on sources? I'm sure they'll scissor with "waaah but there's so many", but if you never know the source, it will be hard to work to put an end to it....
@Damian "Sources" are only relevant for the most simple and cheapest booters using a bunch of hacked machines / shells.
It's alive!
Went down at: Feb 25 2013 12:13:30 PM EST
Was down for 1434 minute(s)
Just take it as this.
The attack was big enough for RapidSwitch to build up a rack in the evening and move all our servers to there.
Because of the size it affected every rack we were on and so the other customers network encountered packet loss.
Servers have been online since the move last night, IPv6 is still connectable.
IPv4 will be restored ASAP
Good to hear that they worked with you to fix the issue.
Partly.
And here we go again...
ipV4 is back but it seems like the attack could still be ongoing. There's fairly heavy packet loss (UK2 node)
from NYC:
37 packets transmitted, 22 received, 40% packet loss, time 36023ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 111.004/115.343/123.113/3.091 ms
from Amsterdam:
47 packets transmitted, 29 received, 38% packet loss, time 46133ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 7.681/18.807/34.468/12.584 ms
All solid from OVH in France, 0 packet loss, normal latency.
1.5G DDoS, isolated to our own rack so they won't null route whole /24 but only IPs getting attack.
Protip: segregate your subnets.
Jacob is the king of getting DDoS in the UK
Having a deja vu. I am 99% sure that the same thing was discussed and same things said ~6 months with other provider in the UK, just can't remember which one.
We're all kings in the long run.
Glad to see you're dealing with it though.
So far so good, some IPs have been kept under null route. Majority have been lifted.
I personally do not want to post any further updates via public, feel free to PM or email me personally for questions/updates.

This is probably the most sensisble thing to do, I still believe whoever is doing this is sitting watching these threads being spurred on by the fuss it's causing but not a provider.
Parts of Evorack's network were attacked yesterday. They said it didn't effect everyone, but the node I was on defiantly was feeling it with 60% loss. Within 45 minutes they had it usable, but the attack didn't fully stop for a few hours. They sent out a notification e-mail to their customers about this.
Minivps was under attack earlier too.
ipv4 on my SV VPS went out again about 20 minutes ago, 100% packet loss
Everyone in Maidenhead seems to be getting hit. DotVPS was experiencing network problems yesterday morning too
I don't think it was their Maidenhead servers, it was Manchester. minivps that is.
W1V_Lee Melbourne are pretty strict with things, bandwidth isn't cheap there aswell.
I think the fact Maidenhead is being hit is probably coincidental, a lot of LE hosts seem to use the facility.
Bad, i dont get any answers of my Support tickets...
Little offtopic question, How are the performance of a StormVZ? (Compared to Ramnode)
@Neo Mate, what do you expect. They're under constant attack, and dealing with the DDoS is clearly going to come before anything else.
I/O or what?
I/O and network. Your vps'es are awesome however in the US. StormVZ looks really nice (is ssd and on a gigabit port) and is in the UK. That would be awesome as my yearly box to put irc on it. While I keep 2 at Ramnode for testing and using.
@Nekki im waiting more as 24 hours.... for one simple question...
Its not "when will the servers be back" is it?
