EDIT: As of this moment, 13 July, 11:30 A.M., the Ts3 server IP is VOICE-TX4.BRANZONE.COM:10016
Thanks for the info Gorthaur. Here is Brandon's reply to my support ticket:
Quote:Our sincerest apologies for the delayed response. As you may be aware the voice-tx1.branzone.com hostname and associated IP has been plagued with DDoS attacks over the last week or two. There is very little that we can do to prevent these kinds of attacks from happening since we are unable to determine which voice server is the target.
To restore your service and to reduce the possibility of a DDoS attack like this taking your server offline for an extended period of time in the future, we have moved your voice server to the following address:
VOICE-TX4.BRANZONE.COM:10016
All users, channels, permissions should be intact. However the "virtual server id" has changed and if you had any custom icons, avatars or files please reply to this ticket and let us know so that we can restore them manually.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work through these attacks.

About an hour later I received this:
Quote:Branzone.com - Dallas Voice Servers
As you may be aware the voice-tx1.branzone.com hostname and the associated IP have been plagued with DDoS attacks over the last couple weeks causing major disruption in services hosted on the hostname. There is very little that we can do to prevent these kinds of attacks from happening since we are unable to determine the target voice server.
At this time the voice-tx1.branzone.com hostname is back online with IP address 67.222.138.191. We always recommend using the hostname rather than the IP to connect to your voice server incase we need to change the IP associated with the hostname without warning.
Today we brought up more hostnames at our Dallas location to reduce the number of impacted accounts when a DDoS attack occurs. With the additional hostnames we are able to break up the total number of servers hosted on a single IP. If you would like to have your voice server switched to a different hostname/IP, please open a support ticket and we will make the change as soon as possible. All users, channels, permissions will remain intact. Even the port will remain the same, only the hostname/IP will change.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work through these attacks.

Everyone should bear in mind when/if the Ts3 server goes down that we should move to the Dolby Axon server (Dolby Axon can be downloaded
here) or perhaps try the Mongoose server (IP is in this thread).
