Your Yola.com Website Might Be Down

Small businesses using Yola and a domain with a separate registrar (like Godaddy) must change A Records  ASAP.

Yola suffered a DOS attack on Tuesday 8/17/20 in the evening. All Yola sites now have a different IP address.

If you do not make this change manual A Record change in via registrar account your website will be down, Read this message posted on the Yola forum:

Because of the Denial of Service attack we have experienced it was necessary to block our old IP address completely and migrate to a new one. This means that you will need to go into your account settings with your registrar and remove the old ip address of 208.75.208.172 and re-point the A Records to 184.72.229.176.

For detailed instructions for a few specific domain registrars please click on this link: Domain Configuration with GoDaddy, Register.com & other domain registrars: http://www.yola.com/customer-support/t/publishing-domains/8/70

Good luck!

I just fixed my A Records for these Yola hosted sites:
