Speaking of monitoring AWS....
My first thought, run nagios somewhere...because I have a nagios server at
home, and in addition to monitor all sorts of things at home...I have it
monitoring some of the websites I host on the outside. Namely with Dreamhost
and 1&1.
Right now, nagios is reporting that my 1&1 site has been down for almost 3
hours.
Their status page says their under a large DoS attack. Wonder if I need to
find a new home....have one site with 1&1, because they were more
reliable...compared to dreamhost. My dreamhost sites seem to have been under
a continuous DoS attack for the last couple of years.
My htaccess file is almost 32K, of deny from various ips and ip ranges just
to make it tolerable. Feels like I'm blocking the entire Internet from my
site.... Though the new version of my blog platform seems better at coping
with it. Wish I could use CloudFlare on the apex of my domains with
dreamhost. I don't want to change my blog from http://lawrencechen.net to
http://www.lawrencechen.net (and only that...) or some other subdomain. Also
doesn't make sense to with my "lkc.me" domain name...which I use with an url
shortening package.
Though I had thought of going to some platform that is largely static pages,
and offline posting....(usually using git) And, maybe run it in AWS. Though
its not like I do much with in AWS currently....though have to decide
something soon since my single AWS instance is 10.04LTS.
Hmmm, seems the DNS servers at 1&1 are under the attack....can't resolve my
domain. Wonder if I could move where the domains are....
Which reminds me...I was supposed to find a new home for another domain....
