blog down
My blog was offline from Sunday till today. The webhost received a massive DDOS attack. A Distributed Denial of Service attack uses many computers to attack a single server. Then, the server cannot handle all that incoming load, thus denying the service to legitimate users.
My webhost suspects competitors to be responsible for this. But I think maybe god was upset at my previous comic. Just kidding god, please don’t bomb my server again.
I also learnt two things from this ordeal:
- mizzgrace is also hosted on this same webhost. I visited her blog a few days ago and was wondering why it went down. Turns out my webhost guy is her classmate! haha.
- It felt like I had withdrawal symptoms when I couldn’t check on my blog. Maybe I shouldn’t spend so much time on this blog after all.
Well, I’m back, boy and girls ^_^
