Steroid.com is down ….(for the count?)

Not sure what happened, but steroid.com has been offline for half a day now. RoidStore and Buysteroids are also down – basically several of Brian Clapp’s sites, including his SteroidAbuse.com”site. Simply put, buysteroids.com was hosted in 1 state with one hosting place, while steroid.com was hosted in different state. Both, however went down, while other sites he owns stayed up (Probodybuilding.com and BuyAnavar.com)…yet Anavar.com which Brian owns as well also went down.  

It wasn’t foul play (computer hacking, whatever), because (for example) if s.com was being ddosed it would have stopped in minutes it is in a LARGE datacenter with anti-dddos protection. To take down the sites that went down, someone had to physically shut down his servers with different data centers and in different states. It’s not something that was done through hacking or anything like that. Remember…Brian owns about 570 sites through a company he has set up called “Domain Holdings” (an LLC), and what we’re seeing is very specific and targeted removal of only certain sites, on totally different servers, in different states, with different data centers, etc…

RoidStore and Steroid.com are both hosted in New Jersey just south of me by Rackco.com.

 But are also run off different data centers in different states.

 BuySteroids, however, is run off a server in Washington D.C. - so even if there was an issue with one server, it’s unlikely that both would have experienced technical difficulties simultaneously in different states. Plus he owns other sites which are still up, like buyanavar.com – and yet others like anavar.com which are down…so even though he has different sites hosted by the same companies, and some  by different companies, there are certain specific sites down, and not others.

So it would appear that these sites – the ones which are down – were taken down on purpose, internally. I say this because specific sites on specific (and different) servers in different sites were all taken down. That’s all I got for now…but I have a strong suspicion that I’ll know more shortly.
