No, in the cases 'throwaway150 and I are talking about, your site is not back up. You (hopefully) got an email in your inbox saying your hosting provider has decided to take your website offline because of anomalous traffic or whatever, and after the attack ends you’ve got at least a couple of days of back and forth with support ahead of you before your downtime is actually over.
- immibis 11mo agoSo until daddy's credit card runs out, plus two days. A shame, but it still doesn't cause meaningful harm. Or get a different provider. Some are faster to respond. I had a false positive DDoS detection from netcup once (I was scraping an FTP site in active mode) and they automatically routed my IP through a DDoS scrubbing service, and automatically stopped that when an attack was no longer detected. I don't know what they have set up to be able to reroute a single IP globally like that - they agreed with some of their upstreams, to allow the occasional /32 for DDoS protection purposes.
