bluehost claims my site is slow becuase of denial of service attack, does this sound ligit
Hello,
Just as the title says, bluehots blames 3 days of my site being deadly slow and almost no email to a denial of service attack, and that they need to suppress the server my site is on.
Is this bull? Does it sound real?
They also claim they can't move me to a server which isnt under attack because it is risky
their customer service is terrible to make matters worse

Thanks for the responses.
my real concern is that not all their servers are under attack, but they wont move my site to one of these safe servers. Can you think of any reason that this would be a security issue? other than that my sites are being targeted (which is highly unlikely)

Is there still a DDOS going on?
Sometimes you just need to grin and bear it. They don't usually last too long.
It could be risky because it may be a site on the server that is the result of the DDOS, but a DDOS would be against the server (via the IP address) - so they have no way of knowing who is responsible, if anyone.

Thanks all
Are they saying your site is getting the DDOS or their server is?
