HostingFu: EveryDNS Under DDoS Attack, which brought down many domains over the last 2 days. It actually hosts half of my active domains, including this very website and focuser.net. Slashdot also reported it today. Definitely not the first time. If you are on focuser.net and were wondering why your blogs were down yesterday, it was the cause.

Is it possible to visit these sites using IP address when DNS is down?
It still requires you know the IP address. Then put the [IP hostname] entry inside your /etc/hosts file. Just typing in the IP in browser’s address bar won’t work with name-based virtual hosting.
If you are behind a proxy. Tough luck.
Yup. EveryDNS is still under attack (thus FOCUSer.net is out).
