Email and hosting biz Freeparking has run into yet more trouble after being hit by a DDoS attack today.

One customer told us this morning: “I have several domains which rely on Freeparking’s name servers. All of them have been unresolvable since around 8:50am.”

Another got in touch to say the site went down before 9am, saying the outage had also hit customers’ hosted sites. Email services were also offline.

In a statement Freeparking said: “We are working in co-ordination with our data centre team to mitigate this attack as soon as possible.”

Customers have already been grumbling at not having access to their emails and websites from domain names and web hosting company Freeparking for more than a week, due to a migration issue.

One customer said he had been without email since 25 May.

At the time of publishing, customers were still reporting issues related to the attack. On Twitter they said:

DOS attack on #freeparking causing web and email outage on our Ed and Family companies. Media ok as hosted elsewhere.

@freeparking Last update was an hour and a half ago. Please let us know likely ETA so we can decide whether to move sites.
