Thanks for the clarity Brian!!

[Why are site so vulnerable to DDOS?]

Hi I am experiencing my second site outage because of some other, completely-unrelated, website had a DDOS incident. Is there some way to get DDOS protection?

I don't know much behind the technology behind webhosting, but it seems unfair that my site went down because some other site was attacked. It is embarrassing to deal with random outages of your website, and having customer support suggest that I use a random proxy to access my own site.

I submit a ticket and so far they didn't tell me how long my site would be down for. I guess I will start looking at other, more reliable, web hosts. I almost suggested to two of my colleagues to use this web-hosting for their websites, now I can't confidently recommend it.

My site is still down - www.jeremynative.com

thanks
