Our server uptime for December 2011 was 99.9%.

There were numerous small service outages this month, mostly associated with an extended DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on a server that shares our network.

The Inveress server resides in a data centre that houses many other servers, and to some degree these servers rely on shared networking infrastructure. One of the other servers on the local network was attacked, resulting in a lot of traffic on the network. This affected access to servers other than the one being attacked, including ours, for a few minutes at a time on several occasions.

Aside from these brief outages, the Inveress server was unaffected.
