You can learn more about DDOS at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

At RiAcube we have taken several steps to mitigate these attacks. One of the step is that we have dis-allowed direct access to wp-login.php. Instead please point the browser to wp-login-rn.php . Directly accessing wp-login.php may lead to blockage of your IP in certain scenarios.

Also please refer to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/ to learn about how to ensure better security for your WordPress setup

For further details/clarification, please call us at (+91) 980 306 9555, (+1) 571 229 5559 or email us at [email protected] . In-case your IP has been blocked, please visit http://whatismyip.com and email us your IP so that we can un-block it.

      • Do print your domain name over all your office stationery, and on personal too (if possible)
      • Update your existing customers with “latest stock” by emails or text messages, followed by your domain name.
