Looks like I upset somebody and a site of mine is ranking for some terms it shouldn't be. Looking for DDOS proof hosts, preferably recommendations from people who have been under attack and then the host has been able to fix the issue.

I don't really mind the expense, but it needs to WORK.

Best advice- stop pissing off people.

You won't find a legit solution to your problem. Even if you threw a few thousand dollars at it theres still an easy way to ddos.

Yeah, i guess he should pack it in and stop ranking his sites, right?

I'm not going to stop ranking in certain niches just because my competition is going to DDOS any site that isn't theirs.

I don't think these are big boys, likely just morons with a small botnet/

Funny, I can't find where I suggested doing that. You should brush up on reading comprehension.

Agreed. I would just keep put and eventually they will get bored and move on.
 
http://prolexic.com/ is the first company to build a defense for DDoS attacks. They still do it maybe just ask them which hosts are running their system and you can get some bad ass defense.

Overpriced. Way overpriced. I forget exactly but it's well over $20k/month. Linktrust uses them and I think they've been taken down by DDoS as well. Which will happen sometimes with any DDoS protection, but still, Prolexic isn't worth the money.


Staminus is ok, but from personal experience I wouldn't recommend them. They may be better if you buy their hosting, but don't use their tunneling service to protect a site on a separate host. You'll have nothing but trouble. All in all I wouldn't count on Staminus under heavy attack.

Peer1 has DDoS protection but they proxify your traffic so you can't get your visitors' IPs. Rackspace has protection also, but I'm not sure about it. ThePlanet/Softlayer has some as well and it's a joke.
 
Download Apache viewer, download your error_log (or ask your host to send it to you), block IPs returning numerous error connections.

Install CSF (ConfigServer Firewall) and try out CF (CloudFlare).

Personally haven't used CF, but everyone vouches for them, so they must be good.
 
How will CloudFlare be able to determine good traffic from bad if you are using it on a p202 domain or other tracking domain? Will it filter some clicks because it thinks its a DDOS if I'm sending tons of traffic? Will mobile traffic do anything?
 
so apparently, WickedFire must be using them now-- and I just got a timeout while browsing WickedFire.

Looks like I won't be using them on a tracking domain, traffic might appear to look like a ddos I think. all the publicity from How CloudFlare's Free DDoS-Protection Service Is Disrupting the Multibillion Dollar Computer Security and Content Delivery Markets - Forbes and they probably can't handle all the traffic.

While I appreciate the transparency, their Twitter feed shows how frequently they mitigate attacks: Twitter

good luck bros
 
the site will continually come back.
you don't "hack" a site by ddosing... you just give it some down time.
There is no DDOS proof servers... obviously some are better than others, but I wouldn't sweat it right now.
