  1. Scenic route from Spokane area on Qwest

    in Shared Hosting

    The tool you used for that traceroute takes the traceroute from that website, not from your local connection. You'll notice the IP on the first hop of the one you provided is a 72.249.*.* IP, where I bet if you go to http://whatismyip.hawkhost.com it won't match that. So that being said, that route is perfectly fine for that traceroute. It exits Dallas over Level3 and stays on Level3 until a clean exchange to the Softlayer network.

    Do you have a support ticket open regarding this issue yet? It's going to be your most reliable method for support at this time if you do not.

    Yeah, I believe the issue has been resolved. Something about members using the server as their own personal mysql or something like that.

    I figure the results are because the server for network-tools.com is actually in Dallas, right? So I figured out the command line for doing it from my computer and it shows a 63ms round trip going down to Spokane and over to Seattle and straight back. Doesn't explain the apparent outage though... Load times are improving at this time but still seem slower than usual.

    Well, tonight we're suddenly not seeing our website (208.43.165.61) come up quickly and it was unreachable for a little while and no support staff available on chat, and no one answering the phones. So I went to network-tools.com and trace-routed the ping. From N. of Spokane it shows level3 carries it to Dallas, L.A., San Jose, to Seattle. What's going on? Is there a break in Washington State? Here's the trace with my IP "x"ed out:

  4. spam attacks common?

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    Hi. I was just wondering if attacks are getting worse as time goes by. I've heard of people who have had attackers report their IP to spamhaus or spamcop.net by inserting the target's ip and other identifying info into spam emails. After a week or two of this the target gets shut down by their provider. I'm only learning of this today and I'm not saying it's happening to me, but if it does, please don't proclaim me guilty until proven innocent... I read about it on this blog, http://www.bluehatseo.com/ , and I don't know how much validity there is in it but was wondering if it's a common occurrence around these parts. Scroll down to the part that deals with How to take down a competitor's website...
