They're saying it's a DDOS attack. Looks like it started right around the same time as their DOJ hearing this morning.<p>Update: There are reports that the DDOS is in reaction to DreamHost hosting PunishedStormer, the rebranded DailyStormer site.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/OpStandUpToCFAA/status/900770166279196672" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/OpStandUpToCFAA/status/90077016627919667...</a><p>And the tail end of <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/daily-stormer-punished-stormer/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/daily-stormer-punished-storm...</a>
Just have to say, dreamhost has had great uptime for such a cheap package, given the amount of features they provide.<p>Given this is not at all a result of their own error, I think they're doing a great job with reliability. By comparison (and it's not much of a comparison) godaddy shared hosting goes down WEEKLY for spans of 5-10 minutes, and it's more expensive and has way fewer features.
Well this finally gave me the bump to move my DNS away from Dreamhost, which I have been meaning to do for literally years, now to sit and wait for the new name servers to propagate.
If you agree with what they are doing (fighting the FBI demand), there is a donation page for the cause; <a href="https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/dreamhost/" rel="nofollow">https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/dreamhost/</a>
