So how do we stop an attack, i ahve lost a site 4 times because of this??

look at my last e-mail from my server for the last attack, i need something done :

Hi

Thanks for the e-mail,

There were around 200 servers which were part of the attack. We had to block them with our upstream providers as they flooded the lines into our data centre so the normal resolution of blocking them on our firewall had no effect. In fact we have had to abandon the main IP for the server you are on and block any traffic going to that to resotre service to our data centre.
The attack was the most organised and ferocious we have ever experienced and was very well planned and targeted. Judging by the nature of your site and from what I know of the business it is highly likely someone is displeased with the content of your site and wishes to take it down permenantly.

The attacks, although directed at one machine, use a method to flood the network, thus not only taking down the machine but all other machines on the network. As such, we cannot offer you any solution which is on our network.

What data do you need? I cannot turn on your site again as it will leave us open to attack, but I can backup your site and/or database and/or emails and allow you to download them from a specific address.

Can I ask you if its possible to repoint your domains name servers to ones not on our network at your earliest conveniance? We are still getting hundreds of lookups a second for your domain on our name servers and its causing some concern.

Best Wishes,

Please help me stop these attacks!

p.s changing my index.php to html, did not work :-(
