are they really attacking zap stream or are they simply attacking the hosting company which is affecting all the sites on their severs? because according to their status page it wasn't only zap stream that is being affected.

The hosting company needs to put pressure on their networks administrator and try to listen the attacks through the main router facing the internet.

So he’s handling everything by himself?

He’s the network administrator, server admin, developer, help desk, janitor so basically the entire IT department?

That’s rough. I’ve been in that position before, and it’s no joke. You have to monitor the network 24/7. Big corporate hosting companies have massive infrastructure and advanced systems to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks and other threats. Smaller companies usually don’t have that kind of protection, which makes them easy targets for bot farms.

You can stop the attacks, but it takes solid router hardware and smart software. It’s a full-time job, no doubt about it.

I hope he succeeds because the average person needs a site like zap stream for exposure and zap steam does everything for us, no need to learn server administration.
