Resolution of Network Event - 12/2/2010

KickAssVPS.com monitored a service-impacting network event beginning at 12:43 PM CST and continuing until approximately 1:37 PM CST. During this period, customers may have experienced intermittent periods of packet loss and high latency.

This period of intermittency was caused by a massively-distributed denial-of-service attack originating from multiple networks in Asia. Engineers immediately began a detailed forensic investigation, identified the vector of attack, and were able to reduce and then eliminate the effects of this attack.

We apologize for the impact and inconvenience that this has had on your business.

Network Issues - 12-2-10

The KickAssVPS.com network is experiencing high latency issues, affecting traffic to the network. We are awaiting status for the data center. Will post updates soon.
