Important Notice – Industry-Wide DDoS Attacks Affecting SA Infrastructure

Monday, May 18, 2026

Dear Hostify Customer,

We want to keep you informed about an ongoing situation affecting internet infrastructure across South Africa.

A series of large-scale DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks are currently targeting multiple South African hosting providers and network operators. These attacks — some exceeding 1Tbps — are industry-wide and are impacting upstream network providers that Hostify relies on.

What this means for you:

You may experience intermittent connectivity to your servers, websites, and mail services. This is not isolated to Hostify — it is affecting providers across the country.

What we're doing:

Our team is actively monitoring the situation. We are working closely with our upstream network partners to minimise disruption and restore full stability as quickly as possible.
