If flushing your local DNS cache doesn't help, you can change your DNS servers to Google's temporarily which seem to be quicker to get the changes than your ISPs. (Just tested it myself and can now resolve s7/11). Instructions on how to do this are available here (Takes like 2 minutes): https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using Edited by Pete B, Nov 17 2014, 05:32 PM.

Good luck with that. I tried to convert my invisionfree forum several months ago, and even after several support tickets it is still not converted. I finally just gave up. |

You may not need to. ZetaBoards registrations have moved servers. |

Knowing next to nothing about servers, can I ask why servers 7/11 and 6/10 are linked? And if so, why they can be called individual servers? Sorry for replying in the wrong topic if this is only for disruption of it. |

A "server" is technically a software term, despite its colloquial use as just hardware. Multiple "servers" can run on a single physical machine. In our case, some (at least historically) smaller servers share a physical machine. This is commonly the case. My hosting has a web server, a database server, a mail server - these don't need to be individual physical machines. |

DNS records are controlled through your domain registrar. We have some instructions for common registrars, but you can also consult your registrar if you are having trouble. As I said above, we are happy to help you with any problem you’re having updating your domain.
We never do something that inconviences our users at random. ![]() The change in IP address was indeed part of our response to the attacks.
This was a very special case. We have endured DDOS attacks in the past (I believe server 13 suffered one on and off last year or the year before that for a few weeks) without having to take this step. I should probably take this opportunity to remind people that this is one reason we encourage the use of CNAME records that point to the server name (s7.zetaboards.com or w11.zetaboards.com) rather than the IP address. CNAME records are not affected by an IP address change and therefore will not result in downtime for your domain. Again, we are happy to provide support for these issues through tickets (rather than this feedback topic). |

From what I can tell the servers aren't down right now. It may have been a slight hiccup judging from how brief it seems to have been based on the responses I read. |

Brandon is monitoring this now. It is the same attacker. So far the defenses are holding so it may be a minor hiccup for the moment. We'll continue to monitor it closely and update everyone if we learn more. |

Just curious - if it is still being attacked but registrations for new boards have switched to a new server, I guess that means we can safely assume that it isn't solely the server being attacked but instead a particular board which just happens to be on that server? |
