Your site is under a major DDoS attack. We have null routed the domain to stop the traffic effecting our servers. We will have to ask you to find alternate hosting for your domain as our platform can no longer support you.
The traffic was coming from a multitude of sources, it's most likely that some form of botnet was responsible. At it's peak we were receiving ~10gb of inbound traffic to the domain. Unfortunately in extreme cases like this we do have to advise that a site cannot be hosted on our shared platform in order to ensure services remain reliable for other users.
Hello,Thank you for contacting support.I have escalated your issue to our Technical Specialist to provide UDP traffic logs for your host . You should be hearing from them within 12-24 hours.If you have any questions in the meantime, please let us know and be sure to refer to the link http://www.fatcow.com/member/sconsole for the quickest service.Sincerely,Shravya UCustomer Support

We are a Internet Radio station that was running on a dedicated server at another hosting company. We moved to FATCOW to save money thinking we would get the same or better service. After only 2 days on their servers, they shut off our account and website without ANY warning. They claimed we caused a DDOS attack and thus they suspended our account. They would not allow us to talk with Tier 3 support or explain what happened.They simply told us to go away. We moved our site to a better know hosting/registrar.I am a Cisco Engineer with over 25 years in this business. I have never been treated in this manner.STAY AWAY FROM FATCOW!!!
They just kicked you off? Seriously?
I seriously wonder whose attention we grabbed to warrant something so majorAnd can you tell me if my avatar is working?
They kicked up because we were hit by a DDoS attack that wasn't even our fault?
Who the fuck would waste their time with a DDoS attack on a small forum like this? What the actual fuck?

The worst part is how easy it is to do a DDoS attack these days. You literally don't need to know anything, any old sap can just go download a program made by someone who knew what they were doing and initiate a DDoS attack.

I cannot even figure out how to fix my router to make Steam work. I am pretty incompetent when it comes to computer stuff, so I think people who can do stuff like this are magical, even if they are retarded.
To clarify yes DDoS attacks are illegal. They are also extremely hard to track. A DDoS attack is flooding a website with hundreds or thousands of bots creating useless traffic to effectively shut down the server. That means you have hundreds or thousands of IP addresses all at once. So knowing which IP is the source IP is nearly impossible.
nearly
My guess is that it was CommsOfficer. He managed to get around the IP bans on the other offsite and the amount of time he put into photoshopping comments and impersonating me suggests it was himIf you ever find out it was him, please, please, PLEASE contact the police or at least scare him shitless by saying that you will and will pursue charges against him
Does their ISP not have records of the traffic coming from that individual? Even if they do not have programs in place to stop it and nobody is at work at the time, surely they would have records of it once they got back to work the next day or something. I thought that shit was illegal as well.

I thought that shit was illegal as well.It's far more complicated than that. People download programs, like Tor, and utilize other functions such as multiple proxies and IP addresses. It's why finding people who commit DoS attacks makes it nearly impossible. It's kinda like a criminal moving around constantly to different safehouses and using lots of false identities to hide

We have a new host now
