I know multiple people have already made topics on this, but my site is also down.

Sarah Fan said: This is probably not Spruz's fault, but a classic DOS (denial of service) attack. They will have to isolate where this is coming from before it can be resolved.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the term 'DOS'. What is a 'denial of service' attack? What's 'attacking' the service?

    What i wanna know is where the hell is spruz is this. They giv us nothing, no updates, nothing. People may claim dos attk and even if thats the issue. they need to let us know when to expect things running again. I always found spruz a good response and overall pro website hosting group but this is pathetic. i expected better from these people

    So Spruz has said zilch on this issue or when it will be resolved? That's unprofessional. -.- How long has this issue been going for? I just noticed today when one of my members told me, but I was just on my site a few days ago.

    You would THINK they would at least put a note on here telling us IF we still have sites or not and WHEN they MAY be up again ?   That isn't much to ask for ?    If they are going to close down or are having financial problems or whatever.........JUST SAY SO ?   Then at least we would know something?

    I like Spruz and hope this isn't the case, but looks like they could at least put some type note on here telling us ?

    Only the free sites are down, but that's a problem, since we have to file a ticket on site to upgrade, as I indicated here:

    For 'DOS' check here:  https://www.google.com/search?q=dos+attack&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a  and also:

    Only friends can message you, Leah, but DOS involves sending so many page requests that the servers are overloaded and run slowly or not at all.

    I added you as a friend.

    So because Spruz has so many free websites running, there was an overload, and were all shut down? Why is it only with the free sites?
