**We are writing another post about this as we have a lot more information please check the announcaments main page**
This is a courtesy update to inform you that we had to reboot VPS8 OpenVZ Node about an hour ago due to the server becoming overloaded. OpenVZ as you know is a virtualization techology that allows CPU Equal share and unfortunately one container (VPS server) on the node is under a brute force attack on the wp-login.php page This server has over 100 wordpress sites installed and the DDOS attack is coming from a wide spread of IPs. This attack has caused the main node to overload and it needed a reboot.
All VPS containers have now started back up and all sites are loading apart from the one container that is under a DDOS attack. We are working to mitigate this attack now.
We thank you for your patience if you are one of the VPS users whose servers were rebooted.
