E-mail to this blog received today from Matt Heaton of our hosting company.
Dear Bluehost.com Customer,
Today we experienced several MAJOR distributed denial of service attacks against our network. We regret that you experienced some downtime today. We have worked diligently today to further protect our network from these types of attacks. The attack today came from MANY different computers at the same time. This makes it difficult to block and resolve the issue.
Please know that we are working as hard and efficiently as we can to make sure interruptions are brief and rare.
We add our apologies for any connection difficulties you may have experienced over the last 24 hours or so.
