DNS Issues With OcUK

Montegue · 21 Jan 2009 at 17:59

Even proxying the shop URL doesn't work, i would put it down to server issues whoever OCUK is hosted with. THis has been random for a week or so now on both the forums and the shop.

It's a DOS attack.
Sorry about not saying anything earlier, but until Spie had posted that it wasn't something I could say.

This is not cool, I hope it is sorted out soon - I need to buy a router tonight and might be forced to go to a competitor! (At uni at the moment as my home pc will not connect)

i guess some wont find it working but i am using safari to view here,, ie wont on same pc,, also it opens the shop no problem,
give it a go whilst they have these problems. and good luck ocuk i hope you catch the peeps involved.

I guessed it was something along those lines - the performance would rapidly drop off after being fine overnight and the site was taking minutes to return pages or errors.
