I apologise for the inconviences to all the members. As for now, I have to redirect the domain to this blog. The rest of the story is below for all to read and understand..
So, tell me what have you done during the down time of RD.com?
Extract of the email from the provider below.
The problem with DDOS attacks as opposed to a DOS attack is that its distributed, meaning that several servers are used from all over the world to attack rather then just one point. This was quite large attack from quite a few diverse ips and well in excess of 100M which your system is up-linked at. Our network administrators will release the ip once the believe the situation has been evaluated and the threat to the network is reduced or eliminated. I will see this is brought back on line as soon as possible. DDOS attacks are considered network abuse and while we release you may have done nothing to invoke this is still a concern and given the account history we have to be certain this is not going to be a reoccurring event. We will let you know when this is available again, please accept our apologise for any inconvenience. We appreciate your understand of both sides of the matter.
Best Regards,
Steve Minter
My latest piece of mind:
This morning we haven’t get the clearance for release of IP from the VPS hosting provider. While, we have to see that the portal must continue to run and serve the Dayak community, we’ll proceed to register with another hosting company.
So much resources and money have been spent this few days and why would anyone among us wants to launch a DOS attack? If the matter continues, I do not see why I should continue to spend the contributors and my own fund and to make the attacker happy.

Posted earlier last week:
We managed to migrate the portal to its new home – our very own Virtual Private Server. Its a new experience to us and it is certainly not easy.
After getting it all up and running since two days ago, we got our first cyber attack early today! The VPS hosting company website is also down and we can’t access the VPS at 9.11 am today.
Upon checking, we are being assure of a DDOS Shield on the other end and at 11.07 am earlier, we received confirmation about the attack.
Truly a new experience… and on the other hand, who would want to launch a DOS attack on our friendly portal?
Nyadi skali agi tumu pagi Pelandok bejalai ngiga pemakai. Kira sa-jam iya udah bejalai ngejang ke rumah, iya pan datai ba paya madang melai bechampur enggau madang buan. Pagi nya Apai Tuai Laut benama Dullah endang udah dulu datai dia. Pengawa Dullah nebas paya nya endor bumai.
Pelandok, laban ke nyau lapar, tetengok bendar ka buah buan. Deka iya mansang takut ka Dullah. Lama iya berunding ngiga jalai ngulih ka buah buan. Buah buan endang pemakai Pelandok. Enda lama udah nya, iya pan lalu mansang bejalai begadai-gadai ngagai madang buan. Seninjik bendar, laban Dullah ke bendar ngasak kadiri nebas, enda meda iya.
Udah Pelandok nyau kenyang ngulam buah buan, iya pan lalu mulai ka diri ka rumah. Tang tak enda mukai-mukai, leboh iya agi dirantu jalai iya lalu tekenyit besatup enggau baya indu siko. Dia baya tak lalu nekan ka Pelandok makai telu iya ba madang melai ke udah ditebas Dullah. Nama agi deh, telu baya nyau abis tekusai, lalu pelanting kiba kanan kena pantap Dullah. Tang kabuah baya nekan ka Pelandok makai telu iya, laban iya bisi meda bekau tunjing kaki Pelandok sebelahnya dia.
