Nomadig.com unavailable due to DDOS attack

Nomadig.com was unreachable at least in certain parts of the Internet due to a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS).

To be honest, my site was not target of the attack, but mere a victim. Someone was making a massive DDOS attack against Joker.com, my domain name provider. I also happen to keep Nomadig.com nameservers at Joker, and those servers were unreachable or unresponsive.

It kinda feels dumb that you know about the situation, but there is nothing you can do. At least not immediately, and most probably all your means are feeble, unless you have enough money and time to spent on the issue.

Of course, I could distribute Nomadig.com DNS servers to different service providers, but on the other hand I know that DNS is really flaky when the first server is down.

If you were missing me yesterday, don’t you worry. I’m back — in fact, I didn’t leave anywhere, Internet just lost track of my address for a while.
