Problem with vandwidth

Post by vaggos »

Dear friends.
Recently I changed the hosting of my page (http://www.meteoacharnes.gr/) and began a series of problems. As claimed by the company, "The site presents you attack behavior and even port flood ddos"!
Raises the realtime TXT every ten ten seconds, and the pages are updated every three minutes.
Until now and in other hosting, i dont have similar problem. Also while half of March I had to ftp statistical 15.000 strokes, suddenly the first day of April, I was about 10.000.
Someone who can solve the riddle?
Thanks in advance

You are uploading realtime.txt every 10 seconds; that's 6 files per minute, 360 files per hour, 8640 files per day. The Cumulus standard files are about 30 files per upload, so every 3 minutes is 600 files per hour, 14400 files per day. Total about 23000. So your figures are actually on the low side; perhaps you don't use all of the standard files.

Thanks for the answer Steve.
I update all den standards files but i dont use all af them. (DATA from thismonth.htm and thisyear.htm are in dthe page http://www.meteoacharnes.gr/record.htm.
Then i cant explain why they see often uploads as port attack or ddos attack. Today, second day of April the hits are 14490 and all March was 15061!

That's the daily average, your total for March was 451856.

It sounds like your web hosting providers don't understand the concept of a 'live' web site, and calling one file upload every 10 seconds from a single machine a "DDOS" is laughable.

Steve
the answer of the host company:
I will not fall to the level of your partner / party, whose severity is judged by the manner and ease with which characterizes a company with many years of experience in the field of web hosting and with thousands of satisfied customers (do a search on google and you will know what I mean ...). Whether S...Web not understand the concept one 'live' web site, let us consider the 5000 + customers hosting.

And he gave me 10 days to remove my site!

Perhaps you could name them, and then everyone else will know to avoid them.

Steve,
you're right. Is a Greek company. And certainly will not have accommodate other weather stations.
Trying now to find new host.
Thanks a lot.
