We'll be possibly looking into a new server tomorrow. The issue appears to be on my hosts side (My VPS just randomly loses internet, the bandwidth graphs drop immediately to 0, yet the VPS appears to be running completely normally if I connect through the console login, asides from the lack of network connectivity). I've contacted him about the issue 3 times now and received nothing meaningful in response whatsoever (which for how much I'm paying for the VPS is completely pathetic.)

I moved part of what I have hosted on there (completely unrelated to Omnimaga, although I suspect it's what is getting DoS'd) over to Amazon's EC2 server earlier, and it seems to be a really nice and proper interface that may be a decent alternative.

that makes more sense, i mean who wants to DDoS a cac website??

So you think it's not omni that is being ddosed?

No, I don't think it's Omni.

Yeah, keep in mind other websites unrelated to Omni but managed by Netham are hosted on the same server.

This. I have a half-dozen or so sites on there.

As far as the DoS goes, it shouldn't have been enough to bring down the server, but the host was crashing (as in, outside my guest OS), and dropping my networking until I rebooted.

If the DDoS attack targets Omnimaga in particular and was from someone that really hates us and intends to continue in long terms, do you think it's blockable or will Omni have to continue living at the mercy of those attacks? Also if every IP/hostnames used for the attack are proxies, does it makes it impossible to trace which people(s) initiated the attack? (although it could be a virus installed on people's computer that performs the attack without them noticing).

Also could an exploit in the new anti-spam be what allows those attacks to happen? It seemed strange that the attacks starts happening shortly after the speed throttling anti-spam (what also causes Omni to be unreachable in Chrome for many people) gets added.

Is it related to BBaS/BMaC? Back in 2008-09 random people from Steam kept joining our IRC channel to rant at you for hacking or something in Team Fortress 2, and I recall this server is still used for that stuff.

What kind of random comment is this O.o

The data above is Netham45's traffic during the DDoS attack.

The alleged attack. It is quite clear that there wasn't. This means that whatever problems he's having is local to his server configuration itself, and there is nothing we can do about it.
