Romeo Whisky Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Anyone else having trouble with the HobbyKing website today? Their website is running extremely slowly and I've tried about six times to order a load of stuff but it just keeps timing-out on the final screen with an error report asking me to checkout again.

John Privett Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 No idea why, but it does appear painfully slow at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim A Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Still not working. Looks like HK website is down everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's not totally down, just performing with all the speed of a 3-legged donkey with a wooden leg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I wonder it it's suffering a, not sure of the technical term, massive cyber bullying attack when a malicious source sends multiple server request that bogs it down. I understand it's happened to them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 John, the term you're looking for is DDoS, ie. Distributed Denial of Service. That wouldn't surprise me in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oops Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 T'servers have probably just eaten too much Christmas pud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Still not working at 1930 today. Been unable to check out my order for days now. They've suggested I try again in the new year! And this is the outfit that aspires to be numero uno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 yep, I had problems checking out, it kept asking for my mobile number to be corrected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If it is a DDOS attack, then nothing really can be done except wait. Ignore all requests to change details like mobile numbers or addresses or payment details etc. Wait a couple days and then try again. Nothing is going to get here in the post till the world resumes normal service anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_B Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Seems to be working fine this morning, albeit a little lethargic to upload new pages, but that could be BT on a go-slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone having problems today? I just cannot get pages to load and it keeps timing out Edited By Rich2 on 13/09/2015 14:43:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
