What is “DDOS’d” mean?

At first I thought it was an acronym for “Dan Duquette opposed signing Davis,” but then I said to myself… “nah.”

Distributed Denial of Service attack. Basically it's when a someone or several someone's send out commands that instruct many computer to attempt to ping critical nodes (IP addresses) in order to overwhelm them and take them offline.

I don't know who my current server host also hosts, but for someone reason they were attacked taking all of their sites offline. I doubt they were targeting an Orioles fans site. lol

All of OVH's network is DDOS protected. I've always liked working with them.  

Their mitigation is really good. My server was DDOSed multiple times, and it went into automatic mitigation without losing any uptime.  Lost a little bandwidth while they distributed the attack across their network, but I never got null-routed or anything like that.

I'm moving from them anyways. Moving the message board to an IPS run server so they will do all the upgrades and then I'm looking for a new server for just the Wordpress site and images. Just looking for a cheap option since the wordpress site doesn't draw much resources and traffic is much lower than the message board.

No, I'm looking for a new solution as we speak. Think I found a home for the message board but need to find something for the WordPress site.

I used to use URLJet because they supported both forums and Wordpress, not sure if you’ve ever considered them or not or if they can support your needs.

Site is acting funny this morning for me. When my server got hacked I went through a few cycles of tech support rebuilding/restoring until I had to tell them to stop trying to restore a corrupted backup. We had to use an older restore point to finally get a stable build. Lost some material in the process. Hackers suck.

We're preparing to move to a new hosting platform so there will be ups and downs over the next few weeks.

I had a similar problem a while back (with Wordpress sites at Hostgator) and support steered me to a good free solution, which was to reroute those sites through Cloudflare. 

It wasn't a wordpress issue or that they were attacking my site, it was a server farm issue. Their entire group of servers were attacked.

Wordpress is great because it's platform-agnostic, and can be run on very low overhead.  

Oracle has a free tier. Maybe go that route?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try and make a decision next week. I need a solution that will do the migration, dns setup and provide some kinds solutions for updates throughout the year.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
