  1. Otherwise, your next best bet is to sign up for a temporary host somewhere and change your DNS Host to them (or point to their servers, depending on if you could manage the DNS), and put up a message there. Make sure to keep your Time-to-Live as low as possible. Just curious, whats the default TTL of domains on MDDHosting's DNS? Maybe they should be reduced for the time being in case anyone wants to point to a different server temporarily.
  2. Yikes, so that's why everything's down. Thanks for the update, Mike!
  3. And may the force be with you, kitty cat.
  4. Did you modify and overwrite the files already? The filesize of those two images seems to not match what you've posted here. Sometimes image editors can leave some metadata about the image as part of the image data which may make the image a lot larger than it needs to be. It's good to run large images through some kind of image optimizer.
  5. I've noticed my PHP pages seems to load faster, perceptionally, at least. I don't really have any resource intensive pages nor a lot of visitors to really judge. Though my WordPress seems admin and frontend seems to load faster!
  6. Although the culprit behind a DDoS attack could be in another country (and most probably are..), the main reason they are difficult to catch is because the DDoS requests generally are coming from innocent user's computers which have been hacked/manipulated by worms/trojan/virus and are slamming the servers with requests without their knowledge of it. The culprit can be sitting behind several layers of proxies to hide themselves, and to issue a command to their "botnet" and no one will be able to find them. It's insane. It could be my next door neighbor and no one would know it. Although catching the criminal behind it is difficult, it's great that MDDHosting was able to defend themselves so quickly.
  7. Other popular ones that comes into my mind are Drupal and Wordpress. Though Wordpress doesn't seem much like your typical CMS and more like a blogging platform, you can create a pretty decent website with it, and it also has a lot of plugins. Same with Drupal. I haven't tried Drupal much, but the admin section is a bit difficult to use, whereas Joomla is a lot better in my opinion.
  8. I've tried out Joomla and I've found it to be a bit too bloated. Although it's pretty decent if you need to put up a website quickly and allow others to manage content, or if you don't have much programming experience at all to build your own. Since I do have programming experience, I've mostly end up using a MVC framework and doing it the way I want it while keeping it fairly organized. I've recently developed a web app for my company using Kohana, a lightweight PHP framework.
