:: Final Update, May 20, 3:30pm EDT ::
The null route was previously lifted and the attacks have not recurred since. We are continuing to monitor network activity to the server in case any attack resumes. All sites are back up and running normally. Please don’t hesitate to contact Support if you need any assistance. Thank you!
:: Update, May 18, 9:12am EDT ::
The null route was reverted temporarily; however, as of 2:30PM Eastern on Sunday 5/17, our Network Operations team found the attacks have not yet subsided. As a result, the null route of the IP has been extended for another 24 hours. We will post further updates to this blog when available. Thank you for your patience.

We are currently experiencing a Denial of Service attack against the shared server Lin-web21. All sites on this server using the shared IP address 65.36.196.5 are currently down as we had to null route the IP (starting at 6:00pm EDT 5/14/2015) to prevent further impact. Most Denial of Service attacks can last up to 24 hours. The null route will be reevaluated after this 24-hour period; if the attack has subsided, the IP will be routed back to the server. We will continue to add updates to this blog post.
We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
