Why is Poloniex so often offline?

[alyssa85]

Tell me one thing: do the websites POLONIEX.COM and WWW.POLONIEX.COM point to different addresses?

One is a sub-domain of the other and they should both resolve to the same site - they have automatic redirection so you get to the correct site whichever you type.

But they are both resolved in the same IP, am I wrong?
That's why I can't understand why this is a DNS problem.

Same here they are under DDOS when I accessed this website it's always offline for me. Should I withdraw my fund out? I'm confusing.

We are under a DDoS attack again. We're working on getting the site back as quickly as possible.

they are now in a high trading volume, meaning their cold wallet is large. in that case, more possibility to be exploited by DDoS. they always need to upgrade their security using downtime.

If you feel uncomfortable , you can withdraw to your own wallet and wait for Poloniex fully established.
But for me this situation are not strange as long as they keep updating what actually happened we can still  trust them. Ddos attack frequently happened we can still trust them, but once they say they are hacked we must start worry

Words of real wisdom. "Once they say they re hacked, we must start worry". Bravo!

When they say the were hacked it's maybe too late to worry...

this is the worst thing that can happen.
in the past couple of days there has been two nail biting situations with both Poloneix and btc-e that both of them were luckily solved in time. that would have been so bad if two other would have joined the list of scam exchangers like cryptsy.

I think they put most of their fund in cold wallet and hope it will not gonna get hacked anywhere in future. I don't think their intention can turn bad as looking at the profit only they get per day from fees. They are king in altcoin trading as of now.
