I am writing to report a significant and sudden issue that has arisen with my website hosted on your service (Website: sportydeal.com). Starting at around 10 AM yesterday, we began receiving a large volume of identical emails from what appear to be fake addresses. Concurrently, our server’s CPU usage spiked from an average of 30% to 100%, where it has remained.
Here are the details of the incident: Start time of the issue: Approximately 10 AM on 28/11/2023. Nature of the problem: Influx of 100 identical emails from suspected fake addresses, simultaneous and sustained spike in CPU usage to 100%. Impact: The server’s performance is severely degraded, potentially affecting our customers’ experience and our business operations.
We suspect this may be due to a DDoS attack or a similar malicious activity targeting our site. We have taken the following steps: Checked our website’s code and configurations for any anomalies and checked the traffic on our web site : no up. Reviewed server logs around the time the issue began. Attempted to identify the source of the traffic/email, but it seems to be distributed.
We urgently need your assistance to: Investigate the source of this traffic and the high CPU usage. Implement measures to mitigate this issue and prevent future occurrences. Provide insights on any additional steps we should take to secure our server. Please find attached a screenshot of our server’s performance graphs showing the CPU usage spike. We appreciate your prompt attention to this critical matter. Best regards,
Yann Le CORRE Founder and CEO SportyDeal
]]>I would kindly ask you for a quote to calculate a project where we will have around 1,2TB of raw data. We will need 150h of analysis on CPUs with 265 cores with 5 TB SSD disks for calculation and 3TB for long-term storage (2 years).
Please suggest us the best solution for this project and the approximate cost.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Barbara Jenko Bizjan

If yes, to whom I should talk to to discuss the requirements?

]]>User will be able to choose CMS/web framework and server (openlightspedd/Nginx/apache). Openlightspeed serve will be set to default, and if the user wants they will be able to choose whatever server they want before starting a monthly subscription payment.
Automation to add customer’s choice of the droplet to my account which will be isolated for each customer.

A few months ago I discovered that WHMCS, Blesta and HostLaunch are web hosting automation service which I could use.
I don’t know whether I will be able to achieve these with WHMCS or Blesta. But with Hostlaunch, I certainly will not be able to do everything I mentioned here.
I’m currently using WordPress and I like to use web automation service on a subdomain. Is it possible?
After I complete my python project I like to transfer my customer’s account from a web hosting automation service to my python app. I don’t know where it is possible or not.
And if I decide to start this business with my python app will I be able to do all the things mentioned above with digital ocean with ansible and API?
]]>Does anyone have recommendations for what to purchase based on what has worked for them? Thanks in advance for any help!
