Abnormal Hits and Bandwidth

[David]

Getting more isn't the hard thing. I just really would like the bandwidth loss to stop. Just gained an extra 100MB today 🙁

First thing I would do is put your board into maintenance mode until its finished as if it continues, your whole cPanel could crash.

Is this on the PH Server?

 

[David]

Yeah, its on the PH server.

I think I'll wait out the week since I have hotlinked my images all around the internet. Once Wednesday has passed, I'll put a hotlink protection. I think bots are sucking my BW from images on other forums, eg. FP.

Ok, i'll look through the server logs to see what's going on. Can you PM me the cPanel user name?

 

[David]

Yeah sure, thanks 🙂

Sounds similar. I got DDoSed (well, my host did) and some Russian bot-like-looking thingy used up 900MB alone in one month.

As it happens one of the things I'm looking for is possible ddos attacks to that cpanel.

cPanel didn't get DDoSed. cPanel is just providing stats.
