February 4, 2005 Downtime Explanation

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed that Google Community was inaccessible from approximately 10:30 AM this morning to 6 PM this evening PST.

The server was fine, but the IP was blacklisted by Abovenet, our bandwidth provider, due to a DoS attack on it this morning which brought down the network.

The DoS attack is no longer going on, and so the server has been removed from the blacklist.

Thanks for your understanding.

GC seems to be always down. It was down for about 1 hour yesterday morning and 30 minutes straight last night. There is some serious problems going on if 10% of the time I can't access the site.

Are you sure? I have the site monitored by Siteuptime and there has been no downtime until this morning.

Well, I seem to be have scatterred incidents. Like, the site not beinig avaible for a few minutes at a time. I seem to have this a couple of times a day. I think I don't have access about an average of 20 minutes per day.

Randy, I don't think the site itself has any downtime, I think that the SQL server crashes from time to time, as we frequently get the phpBB SQL error....

Yeah, GC has been down for me a couple of times. It's been very rare, and usually doesn't last too long.
