My hosting company, Hosting Matters, got hit by a Denial of Service attack this morning, directed at one of the sites hosted there. It knocked this site down for a while, too, though things seem to be coming back online and in order.
In typically efficient fashion, not only was I able to monitor how the servers were doing remotely, but with the boards down the emergency boards came up and the HM folks kept all customers apprised. Nicely done.

Ah, well that explains why my stuff was down as well. I couldn’t get anywhere to find out what was going on though – guess I didn’t try hard enough 🙂
You can, in case of an apparent outage, check the status system and, if the main boards are not up, the emergency boards. I keep those two bookmarked, Just In Case.
