Thanks for the update. It looks like the server will be back online real soon...

It should be, I'm watching the file system check process personally so I can keep the thread updated.

[MikeDVB]

The second file system check pass is at 65%.

[MikeDVB]

The file system check is at 90% on the second pass.

It's time to counting down....

The server has checked out ok, I watched the file system check and only a few cache files (like for WordPress with SuperCache) were damaged and, as such, removed. All system files appear to be OK.

We do have some DNS updates to make for accounts that were affected by the DDoS before the file system issues occurred so some sites may show a cPanel default page for an hour or two.

Thanks for all the hard work. Hope you get some well earned rest soon!

I'm going to end up passing out, I lost track of how long I've been awake a while ago...

Glad that the server is back online! Now, Get some sleep Mike.

Keep in mind, due to the server having just booted up, that it's likely going to be slow/sluggish for at least 10 to 20 minutes. It's got to load caches into RAM and do a lot of very I/O intensive things to get to where it's at the point of being stable.

So should the sites be back online? If so, I'm not seeing it...

[abigun2005]

Greats Job Mike, Thanks. It's online now. Two thumb for you.

Give it a few minutes of time, mate. The server has just booted.

Sorry, I'm on Eastern Time and didn't realize that you are on Central Time so I thought your comment was made an hour ago. Actually, it appears as though it was just a few minutes. Didn't mean to be pushy...

If you were on the IP 173.248.191.65 then your site will be offline for at least a few more minutes while we re-sync the DNS and httpd.conf. We're working on this now (it's the last thing that needs done before I can get some sleep).

I already told the Support team, but once more: great job guys! I've been with many hosts with my website but this one turns out to be the best so far. We didn't lose anything and the website is running fine, so big thumbs up to you all

[Frogsplash]

Big thanks to Mike and the team for their hard work. Stuff happens, but it's how you respond to the crisis that shows the true colors of a company. MDD has been better than all the other hosting companies I've used over the years.

With that said, it's time to dig into that failover DNS post :-)

[HADNow]

As always amazing support. In my distant memory, I can hardly think of any other company providing such "bullet-proof" support.

Glad to see all sites up and running as they were before the problem

Take some rest.
