Urgent Traffic Surge Server Recovery
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
My site is repeatedly going offline because sudden waves of traffic are exhausting the server’s resources. The pattern looks malicious—every spike resembles a coordinated flood rather than genuine user activity—so I need both a rapid recovery plan and long-term protection.
Here is what I want to walk away with:
• Immediate stabilisation: bring the site back online and keep it there while counter-measures are deployed.
• Root-cause analysis: log review and traffic profiling that clearly shows whether this is a DDoS, botnet, configuration flaw, or something else.
• Mitigation & hardening: rate-limiting, WAF rules, firewall tuning (iptables, CSF, fail2ban, Cloudflare, AWS WAF or similar), plus any server-level tweaks that prevent the same overload from recurring.
• Concise report: actions taken, settings applied, and practical next-steps I can follow.
When you send your bid, highlight comparable incidents you have solved so I can see your experience straight away. No need for lengthy proposals—just the facts that prove you have handled high-traffic or attack scenarios before.
Everything else (exact stack details, access credentials, monitoring preferences) we will confirm together once we kick off.
