We had a DDoS attack on our main server today on which Profreehost.com is hosted. This lead to unexpectedly longer down time on main website but all the client websites hosted on ‘Profreehost’ were unaffected and worked normally during that time. The issue has been dealt with now.
In the future will there be any kind DDoS protection?
The site tends to be down rather frequently, for varying periods of time. You guys are using cloudflare, right? How are you getting Ddos-ed? I thought cloudflare was specifically to prevent such attacks, though I may be wrong.

I thought cloudflare was specifically to prevent such attacks, though I may be wrong. Cloudflare does protect against DDoS attacks, idk whether or not they have it enabled. When website uses cloudflare goes down it redirects you to cloudflare saying no live version available, retry again.

Safe to say they have it now.

That’s good news! Thanks PFH for enabling it
