Thanks for that XT, I'm sure the host techs read this post so it's good to have confirmation.

Thanks Goldie.  I'll check to see if there was some downtime over the last couple of days.

Yesterday I logged into the site in several opportunities at different times of the days with no problems at all.

Nothing showing up in the logs either.  The site is working really well for me personally, what with it being quick to respond and not spitting out that many errors, but that doesn't mean of course that there isn't a glitch somewhere so I'll keep looking just in case.

Thanks for posting Goldie and I have discovered that there was another (yes, "another") DoS attack that screwed with the servers again for a short while.  All good now but it's a relief to know that our site is fine and wasn't the cause.

Wait, there was a first DoS attack? What gives?

The company I use is really big and perhaps the most reasonable priced, but lately they have been hit by quite a few DoS attacks.  A lot of spammers like to set up there as it's cheap and then they duly get booted off when they overload the servers, but they may hold a grudge eh..

There has been some server changes of late and I have been getting some weird things happen to some elements of my sites.  We have had a problem here that I didn't discover until half an hour ago so I have no idea how long the site was down?  Anyone know?

smokes, I sent you the e-mail as soon as I noticed it down.  Hadn't really checked in a few hours though so I can't nail down any closer time than that.  Was it the server or the network down?  Server Logs might be able to narrow down the timeline.

For some reason the write permission was changed on the index file, and the host cannot confirm why that happened.  I lost the ability to send email from another couple of site accounts the other day and that turned out to be that they had upped the server security that in turn meant you required SMTP authentication for outgoing. 

I'm assuming that there have been some server tweaks that have had some affect on their clients' sites, and this was just one of them.  Server load is still miniscule and all other systems are very good, so nothing to worry about as such.
