There was a company, which provided hosting services for domain of Internet-portal "Respublika" (www.respublika-kaz.info). It informed to the editorial staff that there were Ddos-attacks on their server for the last two weeks, for example "Get floods".

Domain names www.respublika-kz.info and www.respublikas.info are functioned in standard regime.
The website of opposition newspaper "Respublika" was blocked and attacked by hackers several times. In September, 2010 scientists and specialists (Canada) of Internet-technologies, for example "Ninja from Toronto" made a project "Respublika-KZ", which will help to avoid the blocking of Internet-portal "Respublika".
